Directed by Matt Brown (The Man Who Knew Infinity) and starring Academy Award® winner Anthony Hopkins (The Father) and Emmy nominee Matthew Goode (The Crown, Downton Abbey), Freud’s Last Session unfolds on the eve of the Second World War as two of the greatest minds of the 20th century, father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud (Hopkins) and children’s author C.S. Lewis (Goode), converge for their own personal battle over the existence of God, the future of mankind and the complex relationships that shaped them.
Adapted by Mark St. Germain from his off-Broadway smash, Freud’s Last Session interweaves the lives of Freud and Lewis – past, present, and through fantasy. Director Matt Brown’s cinematic adaptation bursts through the walls of Freud’s study, taking the two characters on a dynamic journey across London.
