Sinekatalog’s take
A young patient in early psychoanalysis becomes the centre of a charged intellectual and romantic triangle. The film is handsome and thoughtful, interested in the birth of a new science of the mind. Best for viewers who like history with a human heart.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
