Movie Info

Filmed in Germany by American director John Huston, Freud is a sincerely felt but overly simplistic biopic of the pioneering psychotherapist. The brooding, introspective Montgomery Clift was a curious choice for the role of Sigmund Freud; at times he looks more off the beam than some of his patients (his comic-opera Viennese accent doesn't add to the credibility). The screenplay takes the shape of a detective mystery, attempting to link various crises in Freud's private and professional life

The idea of making a film about Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), the legendary founder of psychoanalysis, is not immediately attractive. The film is a great drama, but closet drama, in which most of the action takes place within the mind. The question is how to translate this action into a viable script that would produce a

What a disturbing, mysterious and revealting Movie. A Psychedelic Journey into the the Dark Alleys of our Inner Mind. Sigmund Freud was a Anti-Hero fighting the Demons in the Unconscious of the People and himself like a Dark Wizard fight the Evil in Surrealistic Dreams. He is perfect portraied by Montgomery Clift. The Music is Awesome.
