Eager to see ‘Lou Andreas-Salomé, The Audacity to be Free’ which just opened in NYC (at the Village East) on April 20th and is opening in La on April 27th (at Laemmle Royal), I wanted to learn how this forgotten woman of the late 19th century and early 20th century thought and interacted as an equal to with the likes of Friedrich Nietzsche, the poet Rainer Marie Rilke and Sigmund Freud.
Directed by a woman, Cordula Kablitz-Post, the historical feature reveals the nonconforming life choices of Lou Andreas-Salomé, an intellectual and the first female psychoanalyst. Born 1861, Lou Andreas Salomé was a radical for her time who shunned tradition in pursuit of intellectual perfection, inflaming the hearts and inspiring the minds of the early 19th Century’s greatest thinkers. Even after her death, Lou has remained a controversial figure who was considered a groundbreaking philosopher and author by her famous male peers Nietzsche and Freud,...

There’s a great line spoken by an aged Lou Andreas-Salomé (Nicole Heesters) to new friend and potential biographer Ernst Pfeiffer (Matthias Lier) upon his praise-fueled declaration that the way she lived her life — her freedom — was a touchstone for modern feminism. Her reply is, “Nonsense. What’s changed for us women since then?” It’s not presented as a jaded reaction or one specifically attached to the era in which she spoke it (the 1930s), though, because you could say the same today and not be wrong. Yes, women do have it better, but the world has still not found its way towards true equality. See #GamerGate, the Wahlberg/Williams pay disparity on All the Money in the World, and the struggles endured by the women in your life.

A boldly unconventional woman gets a crushingly conventional biopic with “Lou Andreas-Salomé, The Audacity to Be Free.” Such a heavy-handed title fits the film perfectly, far more than the original English-language handle, “In Love With Lou,” which confusingly made the movie sound like a sitcom. In her feature debut, director and co-writer Cordula Kablitz-Post clearly decided that Andreas-Salomé, famed author, philosopher and psychoanalyst, needed to be treated not just with kid gloves, but with pristine laminated mitts, robbing her subject of humor, let alone the charm that bewitched the likes of Friedrich Nietzsche, Rainer Maria Rilke and Sigmund Freud. This one’s strictly for audiences who love historical name-dropping; German box office following its June 2016 opening was negligible.
Kablitz-Post set herself the admirable task of rescuing Andreas-Salomé from being relegated to the role of muse, recognizing that her name is more often featured as an adjunct to famous men rather...

Broadway’s most exhilarating rock concert burst onto the boards earlier this year when Neil Patrick Harris stepped into the silky fishnets of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, earning a Tony for the role and ushering the East German rocker into the hands of a new generation of fans. After Harris departed the show in August, The Book of Mormon veteran Andrew Rannells was tapped to fill Hedwig’s high heels. To say his turn is electric, heartbreaking, and wholly different from Harris’ would still be underselling the performance.

Khloe may be suffering from a broken heart, but even though it might be hard, she’s trying to take time to relax too.
Poor Khloe Kardashian! She’s been going through such a hard time, and with her anniversary around the corner, we’re sure she’s only got one thing on her mind: Lamar Odom. But fortunately, the Kardashian sister also knows that she needs to take time to relax every now and then if she’s going to keep her sanity.
Khloe Kardashian Tweets Her Need To Relax And ‘Be Kind’ Amid Lamar Odom Drama
“Sleep…….. be kind,” she said on Twitter on Sept. 20.
It’s so great how Khloe can take a moment in the middle of all the craziness and relax. Maintaining her inner peace now is just as important as mending her marriage with Lamar.
And that’s not all — she’s even been letting loose a little bit!

It’s summer time and things are heating up with Nick Jonas and his new girlfriend, Delta Goodrem! The couple was spotted landing in the exotic Bali last week.
The sun is out and young loves are taking some well deserved time off to enjoy some fun in the sun. Nick Jonas landed at the Ngurah Rai International Airport Bali, Indonesia with his new older woman Delta Goodrem last Thursday, May 26.
The couple was heading to a tropical resort and a source close to 26-year-old Delta said they are working on music together. That said, we think the tropical destination will inspire more than just great melodies – and can imagine the two are enjoying more of a working vacation than a studio session!
Delta loves traveling to Bali for a songwriting camp in which she participates yearly — so maybe she’s bringing Nick along as an expert opinion! The exotic...

Reader Appreciation Month wraps on Thursday but I hope y'all know The Film Experience appreciates you year round. We'll have Weekly Reader Spotlights for April because I'm having too much fun with it to quit at the moment. Today Victor in Brazil.
Nathaniel: Do you remember your first movie?
Victor: First moviegoing experience I actually recall - my mother told she had taken me before, but I don't remember - is Aladdin, when I was 8. I really think it kind of had some deep effect in me, because if there are two things that I love they're musicals and animated films. I still know the lyrics of almost every song in in Portuguese and in English.
I can sing The Little Mermaid in Norwegian and English, so I feel you.
I grew up with the Disney musicals from the late 80's and early 90's. But First Movie Obsession, with capital M and O,...
