    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.

    Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present “Freud’s Last Session” showing March 22-27 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

    As war starts to rage, two esteemed figures clash over the biggest question of all: Does God Exist?

    It’s September 1939, and England has declared war on Germany. The “father of psychoanalysis,” Sigmund Freud (Academy Award-winner Anthony Hopkins), summons author/Oxford theologian C.S. Lewis (Emmy-nominee Matthew Goode) to his home.

    Freud and his family, including his daughter Anna, also a psychoanalyst, fled Vienna and Hitler’s invading forces; Lewis, whose Narnia books will bring him acclaim, is a former atheist who’s now a devout Christian.

    Freud aims to have a debate with Lewis about the younger man’s views and the damage — reflected in Nazi atrocities — that unquestioned belief brings. But Lewis has a convert’s courage, which stokes the 83-year-old Freud’s intensity.

    Meanwhile, Anna Freud plans to reveal truths to her father, including how their intense attachment has affected her, as well as her life with lesbian lover Dorothy Tiffany Burlingham, with whom Anna started a center for childhood psychology. It’s essential to Anna that she tell everything to her father — who spent years analyzing Anna, as he did other family members — because the jaw cancer Freud has battled for years is worsening, and the famous psychoanalyst plans to commit suicide before the pain gets any worse.

    Freud’s mortality, and what Lewis believes comes after death, further fuels their discussion, as the two men clash and question each other about science, faith, love, the human condition, and what divides — and could possibly unite — the aspirations of the mind and the needs of the soul.

    “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.

    “Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Goode deliver sterling performances. What a complete pleasure to watch this great actor at the top of his game.” — Pete Hammond, Deadline

    “Freud’s Last Session” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre March 22-27. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, March 22, 23, 24 and 25 at 4:00 p.m.; and Tuesday and Wednesday, March 26 and 27 at 7:00 p.m.

    Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.

    One Bullet Away

    There’s a storm cloud coiling over America, and most don’t see it yet. But it’s there. Dark. Imminent. Unavoidable. Call it fate, call it consequence—but don’t call it fiction. The divide is real. And it’s calcifying by the hour.
