When Nietzsche Wept arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The chemistry between the leads is the engine that drives everything, and When Nietzsche Wept makes sure it fires. Viennese doctor Josef Bruer meets with philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche to help him deal with his despair. Ben Cross and Armand Assante lead a cast that earns the romance rather than assuming it. It hit screens in 2007. Romance lives or dies on chemistry, and When Nietzsche Wept has it in the cast combination that the writers chose to put at the centre of everything. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.
