Cerebral debates on christianity, faith, sexuality & psychological rootings for intellectuals only
1 March 2024
Thru cerebral drama "Freud's Last Session" co-writer (with Mark St Germain whose play it's based on) / director Matt Brown imagines Dr Sigmund Freud (Anthony Hopkins - as robust as ever) meeting author CS Lewis (Matthew Goode - understatedly fine) at the London home the former shares with gay daughter Anna (Liv Lisa Fries) in enforced exile from their native Vienna (under Nazi rule). As WWII breaks out, and the men struggle with their ailments (Freud's oral cancer & Lewis' WWI PTSD), they frankly debate christianity, faith, sexuality & each other's psychological rootings. It's one for intellectuals to enjoy, although 'earthier' audiences may find it rather perplexing.
