About this item

Female Russian-German writer Lou Andreas-Salom (Katharina Lorenz) bucks 19th-century gender conventions in her intellectual pursuits, attracting the admiration of her famed male contemporaries, including Friedrich Nietzsche (Alexander Scheer) , Sigmund Freud (Harald Schrott) , and poet Rainer Maria Rilke (Julius Feldmeier) . With Freud as her mentor, she defies society's expectations to become the world's first female psychoanalyst. Directed by Cordula Kablitz-Post. ~ Kaitliin Elise Miller
