Lars Eidinger - Sein oder nicht sein

Deutschland 2021/2022 Dokumentarfilm

To Be Or Not To Be – Lars Eidinger

The latest project by the acclaimed documentary filmmaker Reiner Holzemer puts the spotlight on Lars Eidinger, one of Germany's most talented and versatile actors with his love of improvisation and intense, physical acting style, by going 'behind the scenes' at the world-famous Salzburg Festival in summer 2021 to observe him working on the lead role in Hugo von Hofmannsthal's "Everyman" and then following him to the USA for his first appearance in a major Hollywood production.

"Sein oder Nichtsein – Lars Eidinger" seeks to dispel some of the mystique surrounding this exceptional actor's unique art and also provide an exciting insight into the worlds of theatre and filmmaking.
