A Dangerous Method
Re: A Dangerous Method
Only me who wasn't won over by this? I was rather bored: https://moviefilmreviews.wordpress.com/ ... us-method/ Maybe a harsh 2/5 but I just didn't enjoy it enough for a 3.

Re: A Dangerous Method
I just saw this with my sell-by-date Odeon ticket and really loved it.
Finally after so much Hollywood, I manage to sit, watch and want for much more.
Cronenberg being one of my least favourite directores, takes you by the hand with a dialogue concocted by Christopher Hampton( Dangerous Liaisons and of course, Carrington)between Freud and Jung ( the latter being my option on viewpoint) into the life of Europe at the time of these two great illuminati.
I could have argued the choice of actors, Knightley/Mortessen prior to having seen this film, as a result of how I have personally suffered them, most of the times to the limit of exasperated boredom because I don't care how beautiful Lord of The Rings was or how exciting the Pirates umptheenlogy have been. I, personally, care how much you can transform yourself against what you have written on the piece of paper you are reading. No change... no thrill for this poor woman, no matter how pretty. But this time it seems that the grip of the master made them knock themselves off their eternal repetitive self centre and opt for acting, good... challenging old acting. No deceptive tearjerk. No grand music nor scenic photography. Acting... Just that !
A very special mention to Michael Fassbender, who has proven more than once by now, he can design and translate words into a personage, working his voice would make him really one of the future great actors who will not need the Hollywood appartus.
Absolutely fab!
