V13
Part of Reel Talk With Stephen Farber film series
V13
In Vienna in 1913, when Europe is on the brink of WWI, two young men from different backgrounds, Hugo and Adolf, become friends. One, a musician from a privileged background, chooses to undergo psychoanalysis with Sigmund Freud (Alan Cumming), while the other, a struggling artist, takes up the cause of German nationalism.
Set against a background of rising fascism, we are given a startlingly modern vision of Freud, sensitive and wise beyond any patient’s wildest dreams.
V13 is based on a play by the renowned French psychoanalyst and writer Alain Didier-Weill, whose work focused on the rise of extreme German nationalism before WWI and how it gave rise to Nazism. It raises unsettling questions about the relation between this moment in the past and the rise of ethno-nationalism in the present.
