Having already been released stateside, Freud’s Last Session with Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Goode will be released in UK cinemas on 14th June 2024.
London, September 3rd, 1939. The world is on the brink of war. In his final days, Sigmund Freud (Sir Anthony Hopkins), a recent escapee with his daughter from the Nazi regime, receives a visit from the formidable Oxford Don C.S.Lewis (Matthew Goode). On this day, two of the greatest minds of the twentieth century intimately engage in a monumental session over the belief in the future of mankind and the existence of God.
The film is directed and written by Matthew Brown (writer-director of The Man Who Knew Infinity) from playwright Mark St. Germain’s acclaimed stage drama. According to the official press release, the film explores questions facing all of us, and sees a historical moment that echoes current conflicts, seeks to understand free will, faith, and mortality, and explores how two renowned intellects find connection across a seemingly unbridgeable difference.
