LitFilm 2023: Wittgenstein
Comedy-drama, dir. by Derek Jarman
U.K./Japan, 1993, 75 min
A humorous portrait of one of the 20th century’s most influential philosophers, Wittgenstein is a visually stunning and profoundly entertaining work about modern philosophy and the dark genius that revolutionized it. A series of sketches depict the unfolding of his life from boyhood, through the first World War, to his eventual Cambridge professorship and association with Bertrand Russell and John Maynard Keynes.
