Title: A Dangerous Method
Starring: Kiera Knightly, Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fasbinder, Vincent Cassal
Directed by: David Cronenberg
Verdict: Slow paced interesting movie.
Score: 6 out of 10.
Two reasons made me watch it. I like David Cronenberg's movies and I heard about it in the critcal circles. Another reason is that it is about Freud and Jung the fathers of psychology. (Frued's theories are now debunked). There is lot of interesting discussion on psychoanalysis and dreams. The movie is well made and interesting. Viggo Mortenson plays Freud. His performance is somewhat dull. I am not a fan of Kiera Knightly's mannerisms. She looks odd. But Micheal Fasbender ('Shame') is superb as Jung. He has the charm of yesteryears. Vincent Cassel (Irreversible) gives a great performance in his small role. The film is beautifully photographed in Vienna. Cronenberg maintains a slow pace. The film is of academic interest. I think it could have been more interesting. I would give it a 6 on 10.
