Freud's Last Session

This film contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.

September 3rd, 1939. The world is on the brink of war. 

In his final days, Sigmund Freud, a recent escapee with his daughter from the Nazi regime, receives a visit from the formidable Oxford Don C.S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia). 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. 

Directed and written by Matthew Brown (writer-director of The Man Who Knew Infinity) from playwright Mark St. German's acclaimed stage drama, and starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, Freud's Last Session 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.
