This film is not a conventional biopic, but rather an intellectual detective story, in which the young doctor Sigmund Freud is shown tracking down, in himself as much as in others, the psychosexual source of the guilt which torments them. This unglamorous, intelligent account focuses on Freud’s early psychiatric theories and treatments and his struggle for their acceptance among Viennese medical colleagues. The screenplay takes the shape of a detective mystery, attempting to link various crises in Freud’s private and professional life with his theoretical conclusions, most often doing so within fascinating well-staged dream sequences.
