The genesis of psychoanalysis is the focus of boundary-pushing director David Cronenberg's (EASTERN PROMISES, CRASH) latest offering.
Rivetingly intellectual and laced with frisson, A DANGEROUS METHOD is a film to be admired and explored again and again.
Switzerland, on the eve of WWI: emerging psychiatrist Carl Jung (Fassbender, SHAME) is honing an experimental new technique, which he has named 'the talking cure', on a sexually abused and beguiling young patient named Sabina Spielrein (Knightley, NEVER LET ME GO).
But Jung's mentor Sigmund Freud (Mortensen, THE ROAD) isn't convinced by his student's new method. As their relationship begins to fray, Jung's own sexual impulses take hold.
