 OutstandingJun 02, 2011
By Herr Doktor
A dramatic complement to the deep, but less than entertaining film, My Name is Sabina Spielrein. Spielrein's contribution has been overlooked for far too long; and yes, Jung is a human being. Soul Keeper is sympathetic to Jung and Spielrein, as opposed to the new film coming out next year (A Dangerous Method) from the Freud-leaning director Cronenberg, which so far looks to be overstating Freud's role here.

 Oh for heaven's sake, it's Iain, not Lain Glen. "I" pronounced "eye" a..i..n.Mar 22, 2012

Really I just wanted to complain about the "Lain" part...but since I'm here...I guess I'll snuggle in to my opinion. The Jung/Spielrein portion of the movie was excellent, I thought. Actually I would say it was better than the recent Cronenberg adaptation (but sorry, no paddling). Both major characters were well developed and the plot line was interesting --- although I do think they made Spielrein a little more psychotic and unhinged than she perhaps actually was (especially during the later scenes). Jung comes off as hero-worthy at the beginning, then morphs into the poster boy for boundary violations. Still, there is a feeling of sympathy for both characters, esp. Spielrein. What deserves the most sympathy in the movie however is the utterly bizarre and utterly boring "present day story" that's intermixed with the really interesting story of Jung and Spielrein. I felt as if I was watching a series of punishingly long commercials and cared not a whit for whatever silly plotline they were trying to weave into the overriding theme. The only good part to the "present day" story was "modern guy's" ridiculous and distracting stud earring which was good for a laugh. More attention to Jung and oh, I don't know, maybe Emma and how about that nobody named Freud...yeah, those folks... would have made the movie so much more engaging, overall. Still, I'm a fan.
