Interview with Armand Assante
Photos by Vladimir Dmitriyev


in connection with his participation at the
Second ASTANA International Action Film Festival
Armand Assante, who took part in the Second ASTANA International Action Film Festival, gave an interview to Tengrinews.kz on July 3.

Armand Assante says about his role as Nietzsche:
..................“I played Nietzsche in one movie (When Nietzsche Wept).
Each line, each word written by the author, were citing Nietzsche's works and it was quite difficult.
I worked with a German translator to understand the real depth and original meaning of Nietzsche's writings.
I was given a book to learn Nietzsche's story and I highlighted some paragraphs in the book. In the end they turned out to be the paragraphs given to me in the movie,” the actor shared his memories.

“I think that this book is one of the most brilliant books ever written. As this is an eternal problem inside a person. Falling in love. I think this had a direct affect on the person he became, on his character. As he was always absorbed in his thoughts, never stopped thinking and lived like an anchorite. He was always questioning himself about the things he was writing about,” Assante told about his impressions.

“For me he is the closest person in literature. Just like Van Gogh in painting,” he said.......
