Examines the intense relationship between
Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud at the beginning of psychoanalysis as a treatment. The
year is 1904, Jung is a disciple of Freud and is using his method to
treat Sabina Spielrein. The further Jung goes into the method, the more
he starts to veer away from the path of Freud because Freud views everything under the heading of sex. They can't seem to
agree on certain fundamental principles. Freud sends Otto Gross as a
patient which further separates Jung and
Freud. Gross was a maverick early disciple of Freud.Very intense, Knightly does a good job as the very disturbed Sabina and both Fassbender and Mortensen portray Jung and Freud as very dedicated to their treatment methods and patients. 4* (I really liked this movie)
