Wittgenstein is a British biopic from 1993 . Director Derek Jarman describes the life of Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) with the elements of a film comedy .
action
In an idiosyncratic way, the childhood and experiences of Wittgenstein are told in storylines, among other things in the First World War , in the trenches of the Central Powers , and later at Cambridge University , where he also made his friendships with the philosopher Bertrand Russell , his patron, and the economist John Maynard Keynes made the knot. The film also thematizes Wittgenstein's homosexuality and his philosophical view, which is shown closely linked to his life.
Reviews
“A comedic introduction to the life and work of the Austrian philosopher. Ludwig Wittgenstein's essential sentences and problems are, as it were, practiced in a generally understandable way in the game. The elaborate tableaus develop into a cheerful, dialog-assured, excellently played overall view of the life of a philosophical outsider, with which Derek Jarman sets a monument to a kindred soul. "
