Plot summary

Lou Andreas-Salomé, the woman who enraptured 19th century Europe’s greatest minds, recounts her life to Ernst Pfeiffer in this German film directed by Cordula Kablitz-Post. A published novelist, poet and essayist, Salomé’s desire to live a life free from convention scandalized society but spurred genius and passion in others, including Friedrich Nietzsche, Paul Rée and her lover, the poet Rainer Maria Rilke. Under the tutelage of Sigmund Freud, she became the first female psychoanalyst.

Before seeing this film, I knew about Lou

Before seeing this film, I knew about Lou Andreas-Salomé's connection with Nietzsche, Rilke and Freud but never understood what an important figure she was in her own right. Cordula Kablitz-Post tells her story with impressive cinematic freedom, giving it a powerful emotional charge. This is one of the few biopics I've seen that might actually have pleased its subject. Warmly recommended.

Between 2.5 and 3 stars. Too influenced by

Between 2.5 and 3 stars. Too influenced by conventions of biopics, it is difficult to know how real is this Andreas-Salomé. However, the character and her surrounding is interesting enough to have a watch.
