On the eve of World War I, Zurich and Vienna are the setting for a dark tale of sexual and intellectual discovery. Drawn from true-life events, A Dangerous Method takes a glimpse into the turbulent relationships between fledgling psychiatrist Carl Jung, his mentor Sigmund Freud and Sabina Spielrein, the troubled but beautiful young woman who comes between them. Into the mix comes Otto Gross, 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 is another one of those artsy character pieces. I get that Kiera Knightley was technically putting forth a great performance with her psychosis and what not, but it annoyed the living hell out of me and I could barely watch. And even though I'm becoming a huge Michael Fassbender fan - this movie was just too boring and annoying to finish. Pulled the plug about halfway through.
I obviously wouldn't recommend the movie because I was too annoyed/bored. I do realize that they were actually pretty good performances and my level of boredom and annoyance might not be shared by all. If you are into autobiographical movies like this - you will probably enjoy this a lot more than I did.
