I
t’s an odd thing to leave a movie
screening feeling rather like you wish
you’d read the story instead. David
Cronenberg’s latest fi lm — and his third
with Viggo Mortensen, who disappears
into the role of Sigmund Freud — is
based on a play that’s based on a book,
and somewhere in there is a story that
gives the reader or viewer time to absorb
the ideas and suggestions packed into
the dialogue, to translate the glances and
tensed shoulders into an embodiment of
those ideas.
A Dangerous Method slips past like a
series of slides, a string of minor and major
events in the birth and development of
psychoanalysis and the transformation of a
patient into a doctor. At the start, a writhing,
feral Sabina Spielrein (a somewhat
unconvincing Keira Knightley) arrives at
the hospital where a calm, buttoned-up
Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender) works.
He treats Spielrein with the “talking cure”
and shortly thereafter employs her as an
assistant of sorts, where her observations
are as swift and perhaps more pointed than
the doctor’s own.
Spielrein’s shift from stuttering,
grimacing patient to student and eventually
Jung’s lover plays out strangely, in leaps
and bounds that make it seem as if all
she had to do was describe what she felt,
and why she thought she felt it, in order
to overcome it — at least on the surface.
As she turns toward “normal” behavior,
Freud sends Otto Gross (Vincent Cassel)
to Jung. Gross is both doctor and patient,
a man who has chosen to repress nothing.
His infl uence is clear on Jung, who, with
no small amount of guilt — his tiny,
pretty wife keeps trying to give him sons
— becomes physically involved with
Spielrein.
Much of A Dangerous Method is a
power struggle of some sort, most overtly
between Jung and Freud, between their
ideas and ideals, with Spielrein as catalyst,
her own ideas to some degree smothered
by those of the more famous men. (Perhaps
a stronger actress might have made
Spielrein feel more central, but Knightley
can’t control a scene like her costars.)
The relationships mirror the ideas and
arguments: Is sex a destructive or creative
force? Can psychoanalysis only describe
and explain what the self is, or should it
offer a means to fi nding what it could be?
The intellectual affairs — ideas shifting
and changing as they pass back and forth
among these thinkers — are what heat up
the screen, in large part thanks to the elegant
screenplay by Christopher Hampton
(Atonement, The Quiet American). But in
casting Mortensen as Freud, who is rarely
without a cigar and who simmers with
certainty and pride, Cronenberg deftly
shapes the dynamics among his main
characters: Freud has a physical presence
that dominates and seems more earthy,
more lusty, than what actually passes
between Jung and Spielrein. Freud’s slow
movement and quick mind take up so
much mental space, it’s as if the younger
thinkers, his intellectual heirs, have to
wriggle their way out from under his
infl uence in order to give their own ideas
air to breathe and grow. The sense of
oppression, the Cronenbergian physicality,
is all in the mind.
