A Dangerous Method
Cedar Lee
David Cronenberg takes a shot at a historical period piece with “A Dangerous Method,” his third collaboration with Viggo Mortensen. Based on the relationships between psychiatrist Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender), his mentor Sigmund Freud (Mortensen) and Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley), a troubled yet beautiful woman who comes between them, this should be yet another Oscar buzzed-about film.
