Young Dr. Freud (110 min; dvd; English) 

Director: David Grubin

 

Young Dr. Freud retraces the early life of Sigmund Freud, from his birth in 1856 to the publication of his landmark book the Interpretation of Dreams in 1900. With Freud’s own words, vivid recreations, and the commentary of psychoanalysts and scholars, this two-part special examines how Freud created the revolutionary theories that have become part of the fabric of 20th century life and thought-shaping our notions of identity, memory, childhood and sexuality
