More Michael Fassbender! Woot! There's a terrific new quad poster for David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method starring Viggo Mortensen, Keira Knightley and Michael Fassbender which after taking yet another city by storm when it played the New York Film Festival last week, will travel to London for the BFI London Film Festival. (Ya gotta love festival season.) Now this poster I like. A Lot. It showcases all three stars equally while still suggesting that it is Knightley's character that comes between Mortensen and Fassbender.
Mortensen plays Sigmund Freud; Fassbender, Carl Jung and Knightley Sabina Spielrein, at first a patient of both, then the lover of one, then a prominent mind in the field of psychiatry in her own right. The film is the story of the relationship between Freud and Jung and how that relationship changes when Jung's adherence to Freud's theories are challenged by new patients Spielrein and Otto Gross (Vincent Cassel).
I am loving this "Year of the Fassy". In addition to A Dangerous Method, he's also been taking Steve McQueen's Shame around to all of the same festivals and is earning equally high marks for both. The year both of those high-brow films will be released began with the upscale popcorn epic X-Men: First Class (and will be bookended by Steven Soderbergh's Haywire in January.) Now that's the mark of a true movie star.
