Starring Sigmund Freud
After the 1950s, when pills replaced analysts’ couches, Sigmund Freud the father of psychoanalysis found a second career impersonating himself in everything from a John Huston clunker to a Star Trek episode. The video suggests that maybe in front of the camera, alongside surgically enhanced starlets and CGI chimeras, the ‘Herr Doktor’ will find his final resting place. (JM)
