Description

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. When Nietzsche Wept is an independent film released in 2007, starring Armand Assante, Ben Cross and Katheryn Winnick. The movie is based on a book of the same name by Irvin D. Yalom and was directed by Pinchas Perry. The film follows the storyline of the book quite faithfully, although neither the book nor the movie is based entirely on reality. Although the main show more characters and some of the facts are true, the center piece of the novel (and of the movie), which was the therapeutic encounter of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and Austrian physician Josef Breuer, never happened. Because of the supposed marriage proposal and the references to the book The Gay Science, we can assume the film is set in 1882, not long before Nietzsche published his famed Thus Spoke Zarathustra. show less
