FREUDIAN SLIP

Today's film was

Inconscientes / Unconscious (2006)

This spanish film is one of a kind.

It features the art, architecture and analysis of early 20th century high society.

The whole thing is a Freudian fruit salad.

If you have not read or do not know your Freud I am sure that it is still funny and quite worthwhile.

If you are up on the lo' down of the unconscious, you will have a fine mental workout parsing the lines right out of the Freud literature.

An analyst disappears suddenly and his very pregnant wife enlists her brother in-law's help. He is the closest friend of the missing husband.

Both are analysts and............well.

The inventive graphics. The wonderful sets. The snappy dialogue.

The 'chase' that involves the case study of four clients of the missing shrink.

It is a great movie.

It didn't play much in the USA but did get a great reception at Sundance which is where I read about it.

You will want to see this picture.

It is a 5 out of Netflix5. New tougher rating criteria.
