It brings to mind Robert De Niro getting a job as a cabbie for Taxi Driver or Jared Leto terrorising his castmates to play The Joker. Basically, it’s become a byword for actors being pretentious and badly behaved in the name of art. But what is method acting really and where did it come from? In this episode of, Ellen E. Jones and Mark Kermode get to the emotional core of The Method.
It was a controversial idea at the time, asking people to dig into their own pain just for the sake of being better in a movie.In the late 1940s, Stanislavski’s lessons made it to America.

Ellen asks Isaac Butler, author of The Method: How The 20th Century Learned To Act, to explain it.
