Mizanscéna představuje vše, co se ve filmu objeví před kamerou – a to, co si po skončení filmu pamatujeme nejlépe. Je to však pojem, který se vzpírá jednoznačné definici a nese v sobě určitý nádech tajemství. Právě to fascinuje filmového kritika a teoretika Adriana Martina, který se snaží vystihnout jeho mnohost a vnímání problematiky v rámci různých jazykových tradic a kulturních zkušeností.

Jak nás mizanscéna ovlivňuje jako diváky? Jak pomáhá autorovi k vyjádření myšlenky? Je možné vytvořit mizanscénu nezávislou na příběhu? Je mizanscéna prvek, na němž je možné stavět plnohodnotnou analýzu?
