Every film fans favourite Canadian body horror shocker, David Cronenberg, has completed his latest project based on Christopher Hamptons stage play 'The Talking Cure'. It focuses on the birth of psychoanalysis in the early 1900's and more specifically the tumultuous relationship between neurologist Sigmund Freud, his gifted pupil Carl Jung and a beautiful young woman named Sabina Spielrein.

The above information alone had Clash all a quiver. Add to the already heady mix of director and intriguing storyline is the ravishing beauty of turn of the century Vienna and the potential for unsettling sadomasochistic sex. Viggo Mortensen, who recently worked with Cronenberg in 'A History Of Violence' and 'Eastern Promises' takes on the role of Freud with the increasingly critically acclaimed Michael Fassbender playing the youthful Jung. We weren't quite so inspired at the casting of Keira Knightly but credit where it's due, she appears to have turned in a sterling performance given the trailer.

Cronenberg has also utilised the talents of his other regular contributors; Howard Shore has composed the score with cinematography overseen by the always brilliant Peter Suschitzky. The only downside is that we'll have to wait until February to see it on the big screen.
