I am a huge fan of the Russian novelist Vladimir Nabakov and have wondered why a movie has never been made of his fascinating life. Perhaps just the early years. From Russian gentry thru the Russian revolution to falling in love with Vera to his exile to Germany and finally the murder of his father. But I really happy they don't because, much like the Moslems feel about Mohammed, I don't wanna see an impersonation. I'm bound to dislike it.
I am also a Jungian and I immensely disliked the sight of Michael Fassbinder as Carl Jung -the celebrated and essential psychi-therapist, spanking Kiera Knighly . It is silly, embarrassing and way too literal. And, if that is the best Kiera can do when faking an orgasm she is the worst actress in the world.
"A dangerous Method" is the story of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung's friendship in the early 1900s and their subsequent rift as Jung went on to delve into into the archetypes of mankind and Freud kept obsessing about sex. The Kiera Knighlly character, a sexually hysterical patient whose earliest experience was being spanked by Daddy… and liking it! She has a relationship with Jung (her Doctor) and the rest is really, really history.
By the way, I am also a long time fan of director David Cronenberg but the director of "Videodrone" should have pissed all over this crap.
Music: A lot about Wagner's "Die Walkure" -all Gods, parents, families and incest and put to good use.
Movie: C
Music: B+
