Analyze This

He achieved mega-fame as Aragorn in Lord Of The Rings. But Viggo Mortensen was never going to be a mere matinee idol. A poet, painter and deep thinker, his latest collaboration with director David Cronenberg sees Mortensen playing the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. We ask him to lie back on a couch and tell us all about it.

Roe McDermott, 15 Feb 2012

The script brilliantly captures the defensive aspect of his humour. Do you think that was also because he was Jewish in a time that was extremely difficult for his people?

“Absolutely. People think Germany was the epicentre of anti-Semitism, but Austrians took to Nazi ideas and anti-Semitism much more readily than the Germans, and so for Freud, growing up as a Jew meant having to be able to deflect a lot of very distressing ideas about his culture. And it was such a repressive atmosphere generally, in terms of religion, sex but also free-thinking generally – censorship laws were so restrictive in Vienna.”

What was the effect of that?

“This repressive atmosphere was both an inspiration in his work, born as it was out of a quest for understanding, but also his personality, and as you said, his wit. His ironic tone, his mastery of puns and language was both a personal self-defence mechanism and a way of getting around censorship and anti-Semitism. Wit and wordplay became very powerful tools in his life.”

I’ve heard you refer to Freud’s assertion that, “Everywhere I go, a poet has been there before me”, as one of your favourite quotes, alongside Joseph Campbell who said that, “The privilege of a lifetime is being yourself.” As a poet and an actor, you seem to have the best of both worlds.

“Yeah, I think they go together. Campbell was an adept of Jung, he tended more towards the mystical in some sense. Freud was more of a stoic, he aimed to come to an understanding of your own flaws, of your own imperfections, of your fate in life. Which in the end is to die, depressing as that sounds! He wasn’t here to ‘cure’ anyone, he was here to help people understand themselves. I think he sought to understand himself, his whole life. He’s someone who suffered illness for many years and died in an admirably stoic way I think.”

Through poetry, art and music, are you seeking to understand yourself? Or is it a form of escapism?

“It’s a form of escapism, but also making sense of things that don’t make sense a lot of the time. Like: what are we doing here, why are we here, why can’t we stay here, why do we have so many problems getting along with others and with ourselves? It’s a way of paying attention and striving to figure out something you’re never fully going to figure out. It’s about what makes you tick, and why people do the strange things they do to each other and to themselves and the world. It’s this nurture Vs. nature debate – looking at how animals are so savage with each other and seeing if we’ve really come that far from that, if we’re practicing survival of the fittest under a slightly more civilised veneer.”
