On the eve of World War I, Zurich and Vienna are the setting for a dark tale of sexual and intellectual discovery. Drawn from true-life events, A Dangerous Method takes a glimpse into 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. Into the mix comes Otto Gross, a debauched patient who is determined to push the boundaries. 

A Dangerous Method was directed by David Cronenberg from a screenplay by Academy Award® winning writer Christopher Hampton, who adapted his own stage play The Talking Cure for the screen. Academy Award® nominee Keira Knightley stars as Sabina Spielrein opposite fast-rising star Michael Fassbender as Carl Jung, with Academy Award® nominee Viggo Mortensen as Sigmund Freud. Vincent Cassel plays Otto Gross, and Canadian newcomer Sarah Gadon plays Jung’s wife Emma.
