Sony Pictures Classics has acquired the film “Freud’s Last Session” starring Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Goode from Westend Films in a deal that includes all rights in North America, the Middle East, India, Eastern Europe (excluding Russia), Turkey, and worldwide airlines.

The film is directed by Matt Brown (“The Man Who Knew Infinity”) and written by Mark St. Germain (“The God Committee”) based on his play of the same name.

The film is described as the following: “On the eve of the Second World War and the end of his life, Sigmund Freud (Hopkins) invites iconic author C.S. Lewis (Goode) for a debate over the existence of God. Innovatively, the film explores Freud’s unique relationship with his lesbian daughter Anna, and Lewis’ unconventional romance with his best friend’s mother. ‘Freud’s Last Session’ interweaves past, present and fantasy, bursting from the confines of Freud’s study on a dynamic journey.
