Freud's Last Session

“September 3, 1939. The world is on the brink. A monumental session with two of the greatest minds of the twentieth century over the future of mankind and the existence of God.”

Why would a young Oxford professor accept a summons to the London study of a dying Sigmund Freud (Anthony Hopkins), just before the Second World War begins? C. S. Lewis (Matthew Goode) arrives to find the old man ready to argue, and the two circle one question, whether God exists. Matt Brown opens the study to memory and fantasy, and the film treats belief as a conviction each man has to live with, not only defend.
