Freud's Last Session
On the eve of the Second World War, two of the greatest minds of the twentieth century, C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud converge for their own personal battle over the existence of God. The film interweaves the lives of Freud and Lewis, past, present, and through fantasy, bursting from the confines of Freud’s study on a dynamic journey. From TMDB

Hopkins in mischievous form, and Matthew Goode excellent as a PTSD C.S. Lewis. My #6 ranked for 2023. Recommended. #filmsky

I was particularly pleased to find the quote attached, which accurately conveys the impression given by the trailer.

unlabelledView post →Good Movie Pick: Freud's Last Session On the verge of WWII, Freud & C.S. Lewis debate over the future of mankind and existence of God. One line, appropo to our current time, Freud says, one of the benefits of his advanced age & disease, is he won't live to see the likes of another Adolph Hitler.
unlabelledView post →It reminded me of Mark St Germain's 2009 play (+ 2023 film) Freud's Last Session, about a fictional meeting b/t Sigmund Freud & CS Lewis. But #Synchronicity tracks Jung & Pauli's real friendship & joint cosmic obsession over decades of therapy sessions, dream analysis & debate. #londontheatre

unlabelledView post →Freud's Last Session got mediocre reviews but I dug it. The problem is, the majority of film critics, while reasonably bright and articulate, are mostly just not literate enough or philosophically with it enough to *get* the film. But if Ana Freud was a lesbian she was closeted: Publicly anti-gay.

But, though skillful, the script lacks narrative focus, contenting itself with an evocation of its characters, a trite theological lecture and disjointed subplots without payoff.

unlabelledView post →Though there is no evidence that this meeting ever actually happened, it does make for quite an intriguing premise. Renowned, but ailing, psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud (Sir Anthony Hopkins) invites Oxford University professor C.S. "Jack" Lewis (Matthew Goode) for a conversation. The latter man is late which irks his host, especially when his daughter Anna (Liv Lisa Fries) has to leave him to go to work and he is running out of the medicine (morphine) that he uses to control the pain from his…

unlabelledView post →Near the end of his life in 1939, Sigmund Freud (Anthony Hopkins) held one last session at his London home after fleeing the encroaching Nazi oppression in his native Vienna. At that time, just as the German blitzkrieg against Poland was beginning, Freud is said to have met with an Oxford scholar, believed to be author and theologian C.S. Lewis (Matthew Goode), in a lengthy session in which the duo discussed a variety of subjects. In writer-director Matt Brown’s hypothetical meeting between…
positive · AI labelView post →I lasted forty-five minutes with this one. The premise was intriguing, and the semi-low score could easily be attributed to people finding a slow-pace talkie boring, or people on either side of the theist/atheist aisle being offended. As an atheist, who was brought up Christian, and who enjoys debates on religiosity between intelligent opponents, this seemed right up my alley. And I do like Anthony Hopkins. Especially since his absolutely stellar career-peaking performance in The Father (watch…
