Beyond Good and Evil (Italian: Al di là del bene e del male; UK title: Beyond Evil) is a 1977 Italian-French drama-biographical film co-written and directed by Liliana Cavani and starring Dominique Sanda, Erland Josephson and Robert Powell. The story follows the intense relationship formed in the 1880s between Friedrich Nietzsche, Lou Salomé and Paul Rée.

This is the second part of "The German Trilogy" directed by Liliana Cavani. In The Night Porter she portrayed the connection between perversion and fascism. This time she depicts the life of Friedrich Nietzsche, a German philosopher who wrote Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil.

Virna Lisi won the Nastro d'Argento Best supporting Actress award (Silver Ribbon) from the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists for her role as Elisabeth Nietzsche.
