In her feature debut, director and co-writer Cordula Kablitz-Post clearly decided that Andreas-Salomé, famed author, philosopher and psychoanalyst, needed to be treated not just with kid gloves, but with pristine laminated mitts... Full Review

Lou Andreas-Salomé, The Audacity to Be Free is an awkward mouthful of a title, but this biographical study of a trailblazing nineteenth-century intellectual offers a worthwhile history lesson. Full Review

Rating: B- -- If [these men] were the ones history books wanted to highlight as geniuses, they would relegate Lou to "muse." But as [the film explains], nothing is further from the truth. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- A gentle score and soft, dreamy flashbacks give this film the feel of a period romance, though the story's loyalty to Lou's own obstinate personality ultimately makes it a fascinating character study. Full Review

Product Description:

Female Russian-German writer Lou Andreas-Salomé (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.
