CGiii Comment
An arrogant and ludicrous film.
First...if you know nothing about Nietzsche (and Belle Epoque)...then, you'll find it unbearably torturous...and, terminally boring.
Second...the international cast, all dubbed into Italian...woefully bad, laughably so.
Cavani's pretension has done nothing but alienate and exclude the audience.
Futile film-making.

The(ir) Blurb...
The life and ideas of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. A love triangle unfolds as Nietzsche and his best friend decides to live with a Jewish woman. According to Nietzsche's philosophy, that is beyond all morality. Depicting Nietzsche's opium addiction and madness meritorious.
