Christopher Hampton

Viggo Mortensen as Sigmund Freud
Michael Fassbender as Carl Jung

Synopsis:
On the eve of WWI, Zurich and Vienna are the setting for a dark tale of sexual and intellectual discovery. Drawn from true-life events, the film takes a glimpse into the turbulent relationships between fledgling psychiatrist Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender), his mentor Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen), and Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley), the troubled but beautiful young woman who comes between them. Into the mix comes Otto Gross (Vincent Cassel), a debauched patient who is determined to push the boundaries.

In this exploration of sensuality, ambition and deceit set the scene for the pivotal moment when Jung, Freud and Sabina come together and split apart, forever changing the face of modern thought.

This already looks and sounds great!

Was titled "The Talking Cure" which is why it may have been difficult to find these threads [1][2] Regardless, I'm very interested in this and loved Viggo/David's previous collaborations - Fassbender is also fantastic.

 

[redhawk23]

yeah theres been threads, but might as well start a new one. You know at first I was really bummed that Christoph Waltz left the project to make Water For Elephants, but this still looks fantastic.

 

[Boom]

Damn. Wasn't aware that it changed titles. I searched "Cronenberg" and nothing came up.

Here's another pic:

This kind of reminds me of Dead Ringers. A dark movie with a woman coming between two dudes, and a movie with sexual discovery.

I was sold as soon as I saw it was Cronenberg/Mortensen.

I was sold as soon as I saw it was Cronenberg/Mortensen.

especially since before this came along Viggo was claiming plans of retirement

 

[Laderlappen]

Yeah Im really looking forward to this one.

I'm intrigued of the plot and it's focus on the "birth" of psychoanalysis. Happy with another Cronenberg/Mortensen collaboration and Fassbender it's a great addition.

Yeah, this looks good. I thoroughly enjoyed Eastern Promises and A History of Violence

Haven't seen a lot of the earlier Cronenberg stuff other than Naked Lunch which I thoroughly enjoyed, so can't wait for this one.

cronenbergs earliest films are the best. in particular, check out: the brood, rabid, shivers, and scanners.

I know it's kind of hard to tell from how small these pics are, but I have to say, they both look a lot like their real life counterparts.

Especially Fassbender as Carl Jung. The resemblance is uncanny.

A few friends had a Cronenberg night once but some reason I didn't make it. I saw The Brood in a dvd shop, keep meaning to pick it up, but never do.

Oh and I bought the Fly, so have got that to look forward to.

 

[Motown Marvel]

the brood is one of my all time favorite horror films. like most of cronenbergs early films, it has brilliant pacing that just allows the tension to slowly build and build until you get to the end where is all just explodes in an outrageously unexpected manner that leaves you slack jawed.

Day 1.

 

[Crockett]

There's a bootleg quality of the trailer for this, it's a typical quality one can expect but the film looks amazing. I seriously can't wait for this.

 

[hugekent]

Just reading the synopsis and cast listing had me predicting something special here. I'm not a big Cronenberg fan but this has all the tools to be brilliant.

 

[Assassin32]

I'm actually most excited about seeing Keira Knightley in this.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Not going to watch the bootleg trailer, I hate those things. But I'm looking forward to this flick a lot. Fassbender and Mortensen is an amazing combination.

 

[moviedoors]

I can't wait. Cronenberg is one of my favorite filmmakers. He's never chased awards or mainstream recognition and has continually evolved and matured over his 30+ career. He's a treasure.

 

[Crockett]

An official trailer should appear soon, Sony Classics has just acquire the rights for distribution in the US rights so a release date should be set up and a HD trailer it's all we need right now. I'm guessing the film will be shown at the Venice Film Festival so a release date should be around the awards season.

To think, A Dangerous Method this year and Cosmopolis next year, just ****ing fantastic.

 

[Bunker]

Fassbender and Viggo are two of my favorite working actors. So ****ing stoked for this

I was already wanting to see this, that just makes me more impatient. Viggo + Fassbender, great combination. Cassell being back with Cronenberg is a plus, and even Knightley looks good here.
