Don't Be A-Freud of The Dark: Watch the Trailer for A Dangerous Method

It's not often that I'm intrigued, bothered, titillated, confused, and exhilarated after watching a trailer, but A Dangerous Method does the trick. In the new preview for the dazzling Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender Freud drama, we watch as Knightley begs to be beaten (not sexy), Fassbender reinvents Talented Mr. Ripley sailboat glamor (sexy), and Freud (Viggo Mortensen) drops in for some insight (id-tickling sexy)!

Well, if that wasn't enough magnificent costuming and intense violin music for you, I suppose you'll have to don Romanov furs and conduct the Boston Pops yourself. A pretty lovely trailer, no? We're certainly getting the old-school Marnie vibes from Knightley here, as she wigs out over untapped psychological trauma. The gents are in fine form too, even if they're as dandied out as the lion from The Wiz. Then again, Vincent Cassel is part of the movie, so I expect some arch behavior.

I don't remember the last time a "case study" filmed moved me, but I'm sensing 100% commitment from all parties involved. I'm in.

Verdict: Freudian hip!
