FREUD’S LAST SESSION

London, 1939. On the eve of the Second World War, the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, hosts Oxford don and committed Christian C.S. Lewis at his Hampstead home. Lewis, who would later author “The Chronicles of Narnia,” had recently written a minor fantasy novel that lightly spoofed the great doctor from Vienna and is sheepishly apologetic about it. Freud finds Lewis’ firm faith in a higher being unpersuasive at best, and prefers instead to explore the unexamined corners in Lewis’ life: his relationships to his late mother and his estranged father, his PTSD following service in the Great War, and his unusual relationship with his live-in companion, Janie Moore, the mother of a fallen comrade.
