A Dangerous Method (2011)
A Dangerous Method (2011) is a psychological drama directed by David Cronenberg and starring Viggo Mortensen, Keira Knightley, and Michael Fassbender. The movie follows the story of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, two of the most influential figures in the history of psychology, and their relationship with Sabina Spielrein, a young Russian woman who is sent to their clinic for treatment.
The movie is filled with sexual moments, from the subtle to the explicit. The most obvious sexual moment is when Sabina and Carl Jung have an affair. This is a pivotal moment in the movie, as it is the catalyst for the events that follow. The affair is portrayed in a very sensual way, with both characters expressing their feelings for each other in a passionate manner.
Another sexual moment is when Sabina and Carl Jung engage in a game of psychological domination. This scene is filled with sexual tension, as the two characters battle for control of the situation. The scene is also filled with Freudian symbolism, as the two characters are representing the two sides of the human psyche.
The movie also features a few more subtle sexual moments. For example, when Sabina and Carl Jung are discussing her treatment, there is a moment of sexual tension between them. This is further highlighted when Sabina begins to undress in front of him. This scene is a powerful reminder of the power of the sexual attraction between the two characters.
Overall, A Dangerous Method is a movie filled with sexual moments. From the passionate affair between Sabina and Carl Jung to the subtle sexual tension between them, the movie is a powerful exploration of the power of sexuality in relationships. It is a must-see for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of human relationships.
The movie involves talks of sex and sexual behaviour, there are references to masturbation and sexual desires. However, the majority of the discussions are clinical in nature. There are seen erotic sketches of naked women on a man's walls in his room.
Jung is shown thrusting on top of Sabina who is gasping as they have sex. Blood is shown on Sabina's dress afterwards. We are left to infer that it was her first time having sex. No nudity.
Sabina tells Jung to "punish" her as to sexually excite her, and on two occasions, we see Jung spanking Sabina's backside. One time, she is wearing a low-cut top that shows her breast. We see her breast on another occasion in the reflection of a mirror as she lies in bed after (implied) sex with Jung. We see her breast a couple more times in this scene.
A patient is shown in a dress in a bathtub. Her breasts are visible through the wet dress.
Otto is implied to have had sex with a nurse, her breasts can briefly be seen.
We see a character caressing the breasts of a nurse from behind her as he kisses her neck, face and ear. We then hear him say "thank you, I needed that."
We see Jung spanking Sabina's buttocks with a belt (buttocks just out of camera view) as Sabina is gasping and bound by her wrists to the headboard. Her breasts are visible over the top edge of her corset. This scene lasts at least 20 seconds but seems longer given the subject matter. This scene is again, shown in the reflection of a mirror on an armoire in the bedroom.
In the scene immediately following the belt spanking we see Jung sitting at his desk and Sabina sitting/reclining on a couch nearby. She is wearing the same dress and her left nipple is visible over the top edge of the dress' corset.
