'All that's missing is a crucial whiff of danger' ... Keira Knightley and Michael Fassbender in A Dangerous Method. Photograph: Lionsgate/Sportsphoto Ltd/Allstar There is method a-plenty in David Cronenberg's well-upholstered tale of Freud and Jung and the woman in the middle. It contains solid, subtle performances from Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender. The script is intelligent, the tone is tasteful, and Keira Knightley provides the Oscar bait with a fleeting display of stage-managed pyrotechnics. All that's missing, in fact, is a crucial whiff of danger.
A Dangerous Method Production year: 2011 Countries: Rest of the world, UK Runtime: 99 mins Directors: David Cronenberg Cast: Andre Hennicke, Arndt Schwering-Sohnrey, Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender, Mignon Reme, Sarah Gadon, Viggo Mortensen, Vincent Cassel More on this film A Dangerous Method is based on a play by Christopher Hampton, which is itself based on a book by John Kerr and somewhere along this rattling crawl between the base-camps the vim and vigour has bled clean out of it. Fassbender stars as the young Carl Jung, a fledgling psychiatrist, reaching for greatness under the gimlet eye of his mentor, Sigmund Freud (Mortensen). Jung idolises Freud but, increasingly, the two men are pulling in opposite directions. Freud thinks Jung's line of analysis is too airy-fairy, too in thrall to supposition and coincidence. Jung, for his part, thinks the master has sex on the brain. "Surely there must be more than one hinge into the universe," he grumbles.
The irony, though, is that whereas Freud is presented as a celibate old shaman, Jung is off living the dream, swinging the hinge until it howls out in protest. He is married and siring child after child while simultaneously carrying on an affair with Sabina Spielrein (Knightley), a brilliant hysteric who is an inmate at his hospital. Sabina bares her teeth and juts an extraordinary, elongated chin that should by rights have been shot in 3D. She is, she claims, "vile and filthy and corrupt" and her greatest desire is to be tied up and spanked. Jung, with a pained, frowning diligence, duly obliges.
But spanking, as any good psychiatrist should know, has consequences. In this particular case, it winds up exciting Sabina to a worrying degree, making Jung more miserable than he was before and comprehensively torpedoing the friendship with Freud, who initially defends his protege and then feels a fool for doing so. What the spanking can't do, unfortunately, is knock some life into this heartfelt, well-acted but curiously underwhelming slab of Masterpiece Theatre. A Dangerous Method feels heavy and lugubrious. It is a tale that comes marinated in port and choked on pipe-smoke. You long for it to hop down from the couch, throw open the windows and run about in the garden.
