| Description |
When Sigmund Freud meets Salvador Dali two of the world's greatest and most eccentric minds collide. This outrageous comedy finds Freud in his quiet suburb of Hampstead where he hopes to spend his last days in peace. When Salvador Dali appears along with an attractive young student of Freud's work, all hell breaks loose. Why is Freud burning his latest publication? Why is Dali berating him? Why is there a naked woman in his closet? Why is he close to hysteria? |
