Human, All Too Human

About This Movie

Human, All Too Human is this introspective dive into the minds of Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Sartre. Simon Chu takes a unique approach to documentary filmmaking here. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the viewer to really sit with the ideas presented. The film doesn't rush, creating an atmosphere that's thick with existential questions. It's interesting how the visuals complement the philosophical discourse—sometimes stark, other times beautifully abstract. There’s a distinct lack of sensationalism, which I appreciate; it’s more about the weight of thought than flashy theatrics. The interviews and archival footage feel organic, drawing you into a world where these philosophical giants debated life, meaning, and existence. Definitely a film that resonates deeply with the themes of existentialism, despite the term being a later label.
