David Cronenberg's 2011 film dramatizing the relationships between Freud, Jung, and Sabina Spielrein — based on John Kerr's book and Christopher Hampton's play — with Michael Fassbender as Jung, Keira Knightley as Spielrein, and Viggo Mortensen as Freud.
Brought the Freud-Jung-Spielrein triangle to popular attention — Cronenberg's interest in the film reflects his career-long exploration of the relationship between the body, desire, and transformation — and the film's fidelity to historical letters makes it an unusually historically accurate dramatization.
