A Dangerous Method (David Cronenberg, UK-Canada-Germany, 2011)

Carl Jung's Oedipal conflict with Freud comes to a head. It was apparently fairly accurate, based on a play based on a book.

Jung read Freud's writings on psychoanalysis and tries it out, but Freud never mentioned having patients lie on a couch. Jung (Michael Fassbinder) sits in a chair taking notes while his patient (Kiera Knightly) sits in another chair facing away from him.

Another patient, Otto Gross (Vincent Cassel), a psychoanalyst himself who Freud considers Jung's superior, tells Jung he should sleep with his patient and Jung actually gives it a try.

Filmed in Germany and Vienna.

Freud (Viggo Mortensen) smokes constantly. Freud himself smoked twenty or more cigars a day, equal to a full carton of cigarettes for the amount of nicotine he got. It's amazing how long he lived.

Freud had his problems, but Jung always seemed like a nut to me. In this movie, he tells Freud they should study telepathy. He says a couple of times that he doesn't believe in coincidence. I don't think a belief in "synchronicity" would necessarily preclude there being a coincidence here and there.
