More subject than film. Cavani´s goes for an intellectual alibi to explore perversions (including homsexuality as the most diabolic, that ends with Paul Ree's life, but it is also occasion for a sexy homoballet and a sexier nude in a windy Venice). Virna Lisi is ok as histerical and repressed Nietzsches sister.

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.
