Freud's Last Session

Days after Hitler’s invasion of Poland, the writer C.S. Lewis visits the London home of Sigmund Freud, who has fled the Nazis and settled there with his family. One of them is an atheist and terminally ill, the other an academic who came to belief later in life. Across a single day they argue about the existence of God, about pain, sexuality and death, with each man’s past cutting in. Matt Brown’s film is adapted from a play, and there is no evidence that this meeting ever took place; it is a constructed hypothetical. Anthony Hopkins plays Freud and Matthew Goode plays Lewis.
