Dramaturgy of ideas in “A Dangerous Method”
A film that presents itself as a statement about psychoanalysis evokes a complex attitude even before viewing. Or as Dr. Jung would say - ambivalent. And first of all, because there is psychoanalysis and “psychoanalysis”. There is a complex set of ideas and practices, and then there is mental herpes, which today can be caught not only in the pop culture (glossy magazines, Internet forums, mainstream cinema, etc.), but also in philosophy, art, and even the psychotherapist’s office.
