Review: When Nietzsche Wept


     Friedrich Nietzsche was perhaps the greatest thinker of the 19th century. He was one of the last great philosopher's, and his theories in metaphysics, aesthetics, and ethics are still influential to this day. Nietzsche also led a very interesting personal life, full of interesting relationships with other famous figures in history. In the right hands, a film about Nietzsche's life would be fantastic. His troubled relationships with Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wagner, his sister, and his eventual mental collapse make for a most intriguing story about a most intriguing man. However, 2007's When Nietzsche Wept is not that film.
