A Dangerous Method Trailer Lands
Michael Fassbender is forever Jung
David Cronenberg, a filmmaker who's spent his illustrious career examining the darker recesses of the human psyche, has found kindred spirits in A Dangerous Method's Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. The pair - played on screen by Viggo Mortensen and man-of-the-moment Michael Fassbender - are up to their cerebral, tailsuited worst in pre-Great War Europe in the film's trailer. It's free for your perusal purposes below, courtesy of UK distributors Lionsgate.
A Dangerous Method is Cronenberg's first since Eastern Promises four years ago and it's shaping up to be worth the wait. The birth of psychoanalysis and the Swiss professor's often bitter rivalry with his Austrian counterpart drive a narrative that also focuses on a damaging love triangle with the brittle, beautiful Sabina (Keira Knightley, pictured).
The movie is adapted from The Talking Cure, a stage play by Atonement and Dangerous Liaisons writer Christopher Hampton. Hampton's deft hand at period drama (Dangerous Liaisons bagged him an adapted screenplay Oscar), married with Cronenberg's unique vision and a gifted cast should make it required viewing.

A Dangerous Method: New Quad Online
Mortensen! Knightley! Fassbender!
10 October 2011 | Written by Helen O'Hara | Source: Exclusive
David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method is screening at the BFI London Film Festival next week and all-too-slowly approaching its February 10, 2012 release. But just to keep you going in the meantime, here's a sneak peek at the UK quad for the film, featuring the slicked-back hair of Viggo Mortensen, Keira Knightley and Michael Fassbender.
It's all the story of the relationship between Sigmund Freud (Mortensen) and Carl Jung (Fassnbender), and how that changes when Jung's adherence to Freud's theories are challenged by new patients Sabina (Knightley) and Otto Gross (Vincent Cassel). Click below to enlarge.
Along with Shame, it makes this year's LFF a sexy crisis double bill for Fassbender, and a bit of a departure for Knightley, who definitely breaks away from her usual roles here.
