...actual fact, the West has always ignored Eastern Christianity. Considering our numbers, it is astounding that the Divinity School, for example, offers so little to Orthodox. My own mentor, and a very close friend of our Abbot (then a doctoral student), Father Georges Florovsky, fought with little success at Princeton to initiate programs in Orthodox studies.

For instance, Sigmund Freud (Sir Alec Guinness) pops up from time to time as Benjamin's mystical mentor, constantly reminding him of his breaches in psychiatric practice as well as his own unstable state of mind. Freud's witty, satirical comments do not ring true, though; instead, they remind us of Humphrey Bogart's advice to Woody Allen throughout Play It Again, Sam. Similar takeoffs from other films dot the rest of Lovesick as well, including Moore's sequences of drunkenness that mirror those in Arthur two years...
