The movie: "A Dangerous Method"

When: Opening Friday at local theaters

Cast: Keira Knightley, Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender

Director: David Cronenberg

The story: The touchy relationship between pioneering psychoanalysts Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud falls apart -- over a sexually hysterical patient.

The buzz: Good things come in threes. This period drama marks Mortensen's third collaboration with Cronenberg, following "A History of Violence" and "Eastern Promises" -- and it's Fassbender's third cinematic showcase in two weeks, following last week's arrival of "Haywire" and "Shame."
