Weininger’s Last Night
Joshua Sobol´s psychological drama about Otto Weininger, the young Jewish philosopher who shot himself on October 4, 1903 in the house where Beethoven died.
The film depicts Weininger´s last despondent hours in a dramatic furioso. His whole life passes by like distorted images in a mirror. The young genius fights a desperate battle against time, his fellow men and against himself.
