EXCLUSIVE: David Cronenberg, who arrives on the Lido today with "A Dangerous Method," suspects his dark tale, set at the birth of psychoanalysis, could attract more interest from folks interested in Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung than from his fan base.
"I think fans of 'The Fly' (1986) will not necessarily automatically love 'A Dangerous Method,' " said the Canadian helmer who is known for bringing his singularly twisted sensibility to a range of genres.
"But fans of Freud and Jung -- they will (love it). And they probably have more fans than I do," he added.
That said, Cronenberg's depiction of a real-life "intellectual menage a trois with sexual overtones" between Freud, Jung and troubled beauty Sabina Spielrein -- whom Jung beds -- does not rep a "big creative departure," he said.
"In some respects you could say it's my first straight biopic," he conceded.
