V13

2025

In Vienna in 1913, Hugo, a young man from a well-off Viennese family, is sent to see Sigmund Freud, the inventor of psychoanalysis. Hugo complains that he feels an impulsive revulsion tinged with hatred for Jews. Freud accepts him for an analysis. Hugo befriends a struggling artist obsessed with vegetarianism and German nationalism, Adolf. Filmed in contemporary New York City—particularly in the Bronx—V13 portrays the origins of the Nazi Weltenschaung. Alan Cumming gives an extraordinary performance as SIgmund Freud. The screenplay is based on a play by Alain Didier-Weill. His prior collaboration with the director, THE CALLER (2008), won the Made in New York Prize at the Tribeca Film Festival.
