This fictional biography of Sigmund Freud (Bud Cort) features the pioneering Austrian psychoanalyst's days as a young man. Squeamish at the sight of blood, Freud opts out of medical school, and eventually develops his theories of psychoanalysis, even finding an "ultimate patient" to test his innovative ideas on. Later, Freud develops a relationship with nurse Martha Bernays (Carol Kane), who is not shy about her feelings for the renowned thinker.

Audience Member a weird kinda bio-pic of sorts Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Bud Cort (el protagonista de "Harold And Maude") interpreta a Sigmund Freud en esta disparatada comedia llena de momentos inmortales, como ver a Klaus Kinski siendo amamantado por la mama de Freud. Tan solo esa escena se presta para innumerables discusiones. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Bud Cort (el protagonista de "Harold And Maude") interpreta a Sigmund Freud en esta disparatada comedia llena de momentos inmortales, como ver a Klaus Kinski siendo amamantado por la mama de Freud. Tan solo esa escena se presta para innumerables discusiones. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Dreadful attempt at a comedy version of the life of Freud. It seems to have been made by aliens who know nothing about human comedy. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Not only is it an amusing parody of biopics in general, but it may be one of the most sophisticated satirical criticisms of Frued ever assembled. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
