About this product

Product Information

Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender star in director David Cronenberg's adaptation of Christopher Hampton's play detailing the deteriorating relationship between Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. The year is 1904. Carl Jung (Fassbender), a disciple of Sigmund Freud (Mortensen), is using Freudian techniques to treat Russian-Jewish psychiatric patient Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley) at Burgholzli Mental Hospital. But the deeper Jung's relationship with Spielrein grows, the further the burgeoning psychiatrist and his highly respected mentor drift apart. As Jung struggles to help his patient overcome some pressing paternal issues, disturbed patient Otto Gross (Vincent Cassel) sets out to test the boundaries of the doctor's professional resolve.

ReviewsVillage Voice - Cronenberg's film is at once a lucid movie of ideas, a compelling narrative, and a splendidly acted love story., The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Mostly, though, A DANGEROUS METHOD is a suave chamber piece: a series of glimpses of two 20th-century intellectual titans, in friendship and separation, and the story of a remarkable woman who history had swallowed up, brought into the light again., Entertainment Weekly - Intelligent conversation about the interplay of erotic and destructive urges takes place over cups of tea in fine bone china. Yet the movie is a radically modern story about sex., The Hollywood Reporter - Precise, lucid and thrillingly disciplined, this story of boundary-testing in the early days of psychoanalysis is brought to vivid life by the outstanding lead performances of Keira Knightley, Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender.

  • Good study of Freud and Jung but not a gripping film.

    I got this film to help with my counselling studies. It ticked that box. Keira played her part superbly. The others were a bit bland. I can see why it wasn't a box office success. The DVD jumped a few times and I missed some dialogue.

  • Freud & Jung: One writing about the psychological influence of sex and the other experiencing sex with his patient's. Discover which and why!

    You are probably only going to enjoy this film if you have a psychology and psychiatric bent and have some interest in psychoanalytical theory, it's place in the history and development of psychology and the relationship between Freud and Jung. This film also has a BDSM kink, pain and humiliation theme, which will be of interest to people who enjoy fetish stories!
