When Nietzsche Wept 2007

There is no film that tells the life of Nietzsche, but there are many films that are influenced by Nietzsche's philosophy . These films, while offering glimpses of Nietzsche's life, are not entirely based on facts. These films are fictional films that interpret, criticize or adapt Nietzsche's philosophy. Therefore I recommend reading corresponded book before watching the movie in this order:

1. When Nietzsche Wept& When Nietzsche Wept
2. Broken Flowers& Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Also sprach Zarathustra)
3. Rope& On the Genealogy of Morality (Zur Genealogie der Moral)
4. The Fountain& Beyond Good and Evil (Jenseits von Gut und Böse)
5. Triumph of the Will& The Will to Power (Der Wille zur Macht)

• When Nietzsche Wept (2007): Adapted from Irvin D. Yalom's novel of the same name, this film tells the story of Nietzsche's mental breakdowns, his relationship with Dr. Josef Breuer who tries to help him, and his love for Lou Salome .
