Sabina
Spielrein, Russian with extreme psychological disorder, arrives at the clinic
where young Carl Yung is working. This is the start of a difficult and intense
relationship between Sabina, Yung and Sigmund Freud, which will enrich all of
them and will give birth to psychoanalysis.
I am a
great fan of Keira Knightly, and I have been waiting for this movie since its
release in September 2011 on the Venice Film Festival. Eventually, it arrived
in Britain almost half a year later, and it was almost impossible to find it in
the cinemas.
The movie
is an adaptation of the book "A Most Dangerous Method" by John Kerr,
and it is a very poor adaptation. There are some movies adapted from the books
that run smoothly, without considerable losses of cohesion or plot details. Just
recall the last Harry Potter movie: despite pretty poor source, the movie
itself is easy to watch and still interesting even for those who read the book
several times.
