This was a World Premiere and yet of course the cast was not in attendance because of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. While this film was presumably done on an Equity contract, it is good to see that while Equity actors must still do their work in their own country and can’t strike in solidarity there, they can choose the honor the picket line aboard.

Freud’s Last Session Review – Brilliant Performances Drive Complex Story
Tumblr media
WOW! Freud's Last Session "is a masterclass in artistic expression…" Matthew GoodE "matches [Anthony] Hopkins in quality, verbally spar with the skill of expert swordsmen communicating with rapier wit, biting sarcasm, and even in the silence delivering a powerful, complex, layered story."
Review by Janet Walker (Haute Lifestyle October 31, 2023) Photo: Sony Pictures Classics
Freud's Last Session, from Sony Pictures Classics, presents a masterclass in performance through the fictitious meeting of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud and theologian C.S. Lewis as the elder atheist, nearing death, debates the plausibility of religion.
**SPOILERS ALERT**
The film, which screened at AFI Fest 2023, begins in the home of C.S. Lewis, played by Matthew GoodE, as the radio is playing announcing the beginning of World War II where he speaks kindly to a woman, which is assumed to be his wife/companion [Janie Moore played by Orla Brady], "We've made it through one war, we'll make it through another." He arrives in London, where parents in desperation are sending their children to the countryside to keep them away from the possibility of death, sad goodbyes and promises of home soon are heard.
Tumblr media
Immediately the scene cuts to a home in London, where Anna Freud, played by Liv Lisa Fries, is chiding her father, Sigmund, played by Sir Anthony Hopkins, to be kind to his guest. As she leaves the house, she and Lewis pass on the sidewalk, and she pleasantly prepares him as he is about to walk into the analytical fire. Once the door opens and Freud and Lewis are in the same room, each attempt, while intermittingly listening for bombs and switching on the news to determine if seeking shelter is imperative. As an observer to the theorists each present and defend their respective religious beliefs, each wandering further into the other's reasoning to by chance glimpse the possibility of entertaining a half-notion that the other could possibly be correct in their belief. As it is, Lewis, who lived through World War I is plagued by PTSD and when they are summoned to take shelter in the basement of a church, he relives the harshest of those memories. Comforted by Freud, we see the ability to have vastly different beliefs and opinions and still meet in a common ground of humanity. This storyline segues as Freud seizes the opportunity to step into the mind's door that opened and walk Lewis through his war trauma. A layer of Lewis' character is pulled away as we understand he made a death pact with his best friend that if anything should happen to either of them each would care for their mother's. It is here we learn that the woman, introduced in the beginning scenes, Janie Moore, played by Orla Brady, was in fact the mother of his dearest wartime friend who died on the battlefield. Freud, of course, who believed all psychosis that every person experiences is due to childhood. To debate here seems irrelevant, as it is presented in the film, he is dying and his daughter Anna, who is an accomplished child psychologist in her own right, is tethered to her father, to the point of her own determinant leaves her lecture because her father is in need. The possibility of the day and time, the period in which Freud lived made these assumptions logical are clearly played out as we understand Freud is dying of oral cancer, almost ironic one could say for someone who exercised his opinions to lose the ability to converse possibly, especially in the context of the film and conversation, had some otherworldly connotation.
Tumblr media
Lewis we also understand is a caretaker, possibly to avoid real connection, he bears the burden of his dying friend and therefore will not leave Freud in his time of need. Freud's Last Session is a masterclass in artistic expression. Sir Anthony Hopkins is in top form and Matthew Goode, who matches Hopkins in quality, verbally spar with the skill of expert swordsmen communicating with rapier wit, biting sarcasm, and even in the silence delivering a powerful, complex, layered story. Freud's Last Session opens December 22, 2023. See it.

What clothes will you save from a fire? If I had the chance to go back and save something, I guess I would save the suit I got married in, a Hackett morning suit, which I'm obviously very attached to.

Freud’s Last Session: what is Anthony Hopkins psychology drama about - when is AFI Fest premiere?
Anthony Hopkins and Matthew GoodE star in 2023 drama film Freud's Last Session
Freud’s Last Session is a film about the meeting of two great minds of the first half of the 20th century, founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, and fantasy author C.S. Lewis. In the film the pair meet on 1 September 1939, the day that Germany invaded Poland, and two days before Britain enters the Second World War. With Freud in the last weeks of his life, suffering from cancer of the jaw, he meets with Lewis, a promising Oxford don who was still more than a decade away from publishing The Chronicles of Narnia that would make him famous. The pair spend hours debating the existence of God - Freud was a passionate atheist whilst Lewis converted from atheism to Christianity in 1931. Freud’s Last Session will premiere at AFI Fest in Los Angeles this week before getting a cinematic release later in the year.

Anthony Hopkins plays Sigmund Freud in Freud's Last Sesion
Is Freud’s Last Session based on a book?
Yes, in a roundabout way. The film is based on a stage play of the same name by author Mark St. Germain, which was first performed in 2009. The play is itself based on the 2003 book, The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life, by Armand Nicholi. In his book Nicholi presents the letters and writings of each thinker regarding their views on God and religion, but does not include an actual meeting between the pair.
Is Freud’s Last Session a true story?
The film, and the play it is based on is not directly inspired by a true story. It is not known for certain whether Freud and C.S. Lewis ever met in person, though they were aware of each other. Freud was visited by an Oxford professor in the last month of his life, but the identity of that person remains unknown - it was this meeting that inspired Germain’s play. Whilst Freud and Lewis were both real figures, and their beliefs about religion, family, and other matters are accurately reflected in the film, the actual meeting between the pair is fictionalised.
