Home Movies: A Dangerous Method


"A Dangerous Method is a 2011 historical film directed by David Cronenberg and starring Keira Knightley, Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender, and Vincent Cassel.

Set on the eve of World War I, A Dangerous Method describes the turbulent relationships between Carl Jung, founder of analytical psychology, Sigmund Freud, founder of the discipline of psychoanalysis, and Sabina Spielrein, initially a patient of Jung and later a physician and one of the first female psychoanalysts."

Dan is on vacation and I (Bobgar) watched A Dangerous Method last night. I don't want to speak about the plot of the story save the quoted text above because it is a story that must be experienced. It was a completely engrossing story with captivating performances by all the actors. It is an excellent film that is relentless in its portrayal of the individual's practices.  In my estimation it is a near perfect film, although admittedly some scenes are quite difficult to witness.  Recommended.

 

The underbite was a nice touch too.
