Nietzsche in Russia

2008 · 86 min · Fantasy, Drama

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche never went to Russia – yet he was always fascinated by this mysterious country and wanted to visit it. This film gives him the possibility to do so after all. However, Nietzsche doesn’t arrive in 19th century Russia, but in a modern country which has been trying for years to create the civilization described by Nietzsche 150 years ago.

The whole film has three, (but in reality, two main) characters. Most of the action takes place in a country house, home to the pair. She - a Japanese translator, he - a man without a definite occupation, lover of the texts of Nietzsche (which he reads fluently in its original language) and St. Augustine (who is quoted in Latin). They are Moscow intelligentsia who have emigrating to their own cultural space. A couple so different that it is difficult to understand what keeps them together. It seems they live together, not because of, but rather in spite of everything that is happening (or rather, not happening) between them.
