What is Amour Fou about?

Heinrich is a melancholy young poet in Romantic Era Berlin who determines his best way out of despair is to end it all.

Amour Fou – inspired by the actual suicide in 1811 of Heinrich von Kleist and Henrietta Vogel – goes against expectations to become a wry and curious denunciation of dying for love.
