Greetings! I recently came across a Swedish web-page which features information regarding a film entitled "102 Years in the Heart of Europe". It apparently contains the last ever interviews conducted with Jünger. Does anyone know anything more about this work, especially its status in Britain? I contacted the film’s UK distributors RDF, but received no response from them. The site address is www.martin-co.se/proj1.htm On another note, I wonder whether other subscribers have any strong opinions in relation to Nietzsche’s influence on Jünger. It appears to me that, whilst Nietzsche becomes less of an overt reference point for Jünger in the post-war years, many of the latter’s views actually became more Nietzschean, in a certain sense, as time progressed. Certainly Venator seems to be something of a Nietzschean ‘Free Spirit’, despite his claims to the contrary. In my opinion, this standpoint has more in common with FN than EJ’s fairly simplistic-Darwinian interpretation of Nietzsche’s output (see the English newspaper article ‘Why I wrote the Storm of Steel’, for example) of the 20’s. Does anyone want to corroborate this, or prove me wrong? In Amicitia, Nick Nedzynski.
