Sometimes it’s good to be good, but it’s always good to be Goode.
Matthew Goode stars as renowned author CS Lewis opposite Sir Anthony Hopkins as father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud in Freud’s Last Session
This stunning 2009 adaptation of Alan Moore’s ground-breaking graphic novel saw Goode come to the fore as a young actor – shining as a sci-fi villain and doing complete justice to one of the comic-book world’s most sacred characters. With Matthew Goode and Sir Anthony Hopkins front and centre, Freud’s Last Session tells the tale of a fictional meeting between Sigmund Freud and Oxford don and future author of the Narnia series, CS Lewis. But is this a session that goes smoothly for our stars, or have our two titans made a Freudian slip-up? Time to get settled on the chaise-longue...
“I’m human. I’m inherently flawed, and I’m deeply damaged,” he notes. “And no doubt, I’m damaging to others.” On September 3, 1939, the day that prime minister Neville Chamberlain formally announces Britain is at war with Germany, 83-year-old Sigmund Freud invites CS Lewis to visit him at home so they might discuss ideas expressed in the latter’s book, The Pilgrim’s Regress.
Meanwhile, Freud’s 43-year-old daughter Anna abandons her lecturing duties to seek morphine for her father. The veteran broadcaster has witnessed many extraordinary sights on land, in the sea and the air but it’s unlikely he will have ever seen a tribe of bigfoots urinating, lactating and defecating with wild delirium to mark their territory.
In amusing vignettes, one bigfoot gets high by sniffing the fur of a skunk while another creates an imaginary friend from his balled-up fist.Grunts, whoops and guttural roars replace intelligible lines of dialogue but it’s easy to discern the bigfoots’ emotions from their actions like when they beat the trunks of redwood trees in unison to make contact with similar communities.
