It is 1939, on the very eve of the declaration of war in London. Lewis (Matthew Goode) invites Sigmund Freud (Anthony Hopkins) to his invitation.

The rest of it

And that’s the film, two men talking, occasionally interrupted by flashbacks to their youth and an air raid to give the scene some cinematic credibility. In this contrived scenario – although the story says that an Oxford don visited Freud shortly before his death, the claim that it was Lewis is a fabrication of the play and the film – they argue about each other, and in the end agree only that people are afraid of death. well, Freud’s beliefs are at the end of his life (he died three weeks after the supposed events of this film), and there’s a bunch of stuff that Lewis said before he was in his twenties. As for the basic disagreement between religion and science, it is a non-conflict; as smarter people than I have declared, science is about how, not why. If G*d created the universe we live in, thank you very much.

Both men are excellent actors and easily translate the script into natural sounding words

I have no idea if Hopkins' the accent is a good Viennese accent; Kohli Calhoun is listed as a dialect coach.
