I rented this tonight after only hearing about it today although it came out 12 years ago. The film is a lot better than it looks in the trailer I think. Freud came across better in the film than I thought that he would (not that I ever knew a lot about him). It helps to know a bit about both Jung and Freud before watching it. The film doesn't give any of Jung's many spiritual insights and stops at around 1914 - Jung lived until 1961. The film is about him and his first mistress and Freud. Freud died in 39.
It's good but unless you like Jung / his work / a lot of it you may well not get much out of it. A sequel / trilogy is called for given that Jung lived so long after 1914 where the film stops but his later work was so immense that it would possibly be hard to do it justice in one or two more films.
