This week we’re excited to present an archival conversation from the 49th New York Film Festival in 2011 with the team behind the Main Slate selection A Dangerous Method: director David Cronenberg, lead actor Michael Fassbender, screenwriter Christopher Hampton, and producer Jeremy Thomas. Cronenberg returns to the New York Film Festival this fall with the U.S. premiere of his NYFF62 Main Slate selection The Shrouds, starring Vincent Cassel and Diane Kruger.

From acclaimed director David Cronenberg comes A Dangerous Method, a dark tale of sexual and intellectual discovery featuring two of the greatest minds of the 20th century. Carl Jung (played by Michael Fassbender) has just begun his psychiatric career, having been inspired by the great Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen). When a mysterious and beautiful woman (Keira Knightley) goes under Jung’s care, Jung finds himself crossing the line of the doctor/patient relationship, causing great conflict with his mentor and making Jung question his own morality in the process.
The following conversation was moderated by Scott Foundas.
