David Suchet, beloved portrayer of the peerless Inspector Poirot, puts his acting skills into the guise of another famous mind. Suchet shines in this award-winning performance as Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis and one of the revolutionary thinkers of the 19th and 20th centuries. Filmed on location in Austria, New York and London, this unique, intimate and honest portrait delves into Freud's work, his innovative theories and his relationships with his colleagues, lovers and patients. Amazingly, Suchet is utterly transformed into Freud, playing the doctor from youth to his death at 83. A BBC production as seen on A&E.
