Honestly its two amazing actors discussing but not arguing or fighting, while speaking wise words. The kind of topic most cannot discuss if they can't agree about believing or not believing in God. The delivery of this message is great but the message itself, both sides can enjoy. That makes this movie so special, so watch with your eyes but listen with your heart and enjoy the lingering scent of divinity. GB

Here at last is a movie for those who have long imagined a discourse between Nietzsche and Kierkegaard. The minimalist production allows complete focus on the matter at hand: Shall we choose death as a rest, or assume eternal life is possible and accept possible imperfecitons. A must-watch.
