- This is a dark, complex film.
- Mr. M is cutting some of the film, but it's still pretty rough. Requires a mature attitude.
- Just because we're watching this doesn't endorse these or any of Nietzsche's ideas. The film itself might be critical of this philosophy - we'll discuss tomorrow.
- Brief background & explanation.
- Watch Film
