Rating: - An incredible woman and teacher
Stella Adler was possibly the last of the great "master teachers" of acting. A student of Stanislavski himself (as opposed to Lee Strassberg, who took everything second hand and made himself more important than the part), she is everything you could wish for in a teacher. Her passion for the theater and all it touches is incredible; and since, in her view, theater touched on everything from the classics to the drunk asleep on the Bowery sidewalk, she encompasses the world.
Any artist should see this film. Any writer, any actor, director, dancer, teacher. In fact, now that I think of it, everyone should see this film. She was that rarity among rarities; a teacher who imparted life with every breath.
