Interesting documentary by NRK celebrating his 75th birthday, but due to the nature of the series ("Smiling Pens") much of the "darker" side of his philosophy was left out. Still I hope whoever is fond his work would find something in this jewel. Definitively it shows why his thought is extremely actual. The section of "On the tragic and pessimism" particularly stands out.
Incomplete (decided not to include a reenactment of a humurous text called "A psychoanalysis" as it had a lot of native wordplay, and a reading of his examen artium written in verse).

23:06 Incredible how he just answered right away with a sudden change in his mood. If he could also see Sweden now…

Gee, I wonder what he meant by mass looting and migration after trying to write his dissertation while his country was overrun by invading Nazis (who could recite Nietzsche's work by rote but couldn't actually understand it).
