In 19th-century Vienna, Dr. Josef Breuer (Ben Cross) and his protégé Sigmund Freud (Jamie Elman) employ a new method of “talk therapy” on a penniless, depressed philosopher named Friedrich Nietzsche (Armand Assante). Based on the award-winning novel by psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom, the romantic drama explores the gripping stories behind these influential men, as well as the women who shaped their lives.
When Nietzsche Wept: should only be seen to scavenge a few well performed quotes from Nietzsche's early writings.
