...garden that has sprung up in her kitchen. It's no surprise that he loves David Lynch. To get into Crewdson's perennial frame of mind, Lynch's Blue Velvet is recommended viewing. It's also not surprising that his father was a psychoanalyst, because Crewdson has the good Freudian's obsession with fetishes. Circles, birds, stains and windows figure repeatedly and mysteriously in his pictures. Fetishes were an obsession for Alfred Hitchcock...
...what consumes it, and the movie version, is the 18-year-old Hannibal's tracking down of the dastards who killed and devoured Mischa. (I have to get that West Side Story tune out of my head: "A man like that / He eat your sister.") It's the familiar Freudian tale of a man acting as his own psychoanalyst, plumbing the past to unearth some terrible secret, which he then tries to exorcise - all right, by becoming a serial killer. That's a twist, though hardly a surprise to the people seeing this movie. Nor will Hannibal's method stir...
...Another Freudian aspect: Hannibal, when he comes to Paris from Lithuania, stays with his uncle's widow, the ravishing Lady Murasaki (Gong Li). It seems that the sexuality she awakens in him also helps trigger his homicidal impulses.

And in the therapist's preoccupation with sex there are echoes of the work of Sigmund Freud. Psychoanalysis, the family of psychological theories and methods he devised in the 1890s, underpins the many forms of psychotherapy available today. Freud postulated the existence of the unconscious, which he said is shaped by early experience and can profoundly affect moods and behavior, its secrets detectable in dreams and slips of the tongue. "[Braydle] would justify his treatment of [Beddoe...
...Daughter Ellen says her "earliest recollection was of sneaking past the door when he was writing. I always felt that I didn't have his full attention. He seemed to be distant, in his own world." For Simon, the early stages of writing a play are a kind of Freudian trek through the subconscious: "There's no blueprint per se. You just go through the tunnels of your mind, and you come out someplace." It takes him about four months to create a play from nothing but considerably longer to refine it. Sometimes he is simply trying to make...
