A Dangerous Method (Cronenberg, 2011)

[Adam]

Didn't realize that this had been finished shooting for a while

Set on the eve of World War I, A Dangerous Method is based on the turbulent relationships between fledgling psychiatrist Carl Jung, his mentor Sigmund Freud, and Sabina Spielrein, the troubled but beautiful young woman who comes between them.

I'm not the biggest Cronenberg fan, but this is going to be a good movie

I gotta be honest, I'm not all that excited for this. Reeks of standard biopic territory. He should've stuck with Cosmopolis.

Any movie with a plot synopsis that contains the line "....and the [ADJ] woman who comes between them" is already close to losing me.

Mm, yeah. I'm not sure it makes much sense, but I don't care for that line in any synopsis.

This will be good.

Those promotional photos are insane. I'm gonna love this.

I hope it's good, man. I really do.

I can't say I've ever seen Cronenberg go the "standard" route. I look forward to it.

Everything he's done this decade has been pretty standard fare, granted still good.

I trust Cronenberg with anything, and this looks great.

Spider is very unconventional.

History of Violence and Eastern Promises may not be a Naked Lunch or Videodrone but they sure are better and more far out then your standard mafia movie

I might grant you Spider, but the other two seem like pretty standard fare to me.

The cast is great, and of course I like Cronenberg. The subject material actually sounds like something he would cover, so that's either a knock against the movie or my willingness to trust him with anything at this point. I'm going with the latter.
