It explores Freud’s experiences of marginalization as a Jew in Vienna. Through an intimate lens, the film reveals new dimensions of Freud’s legacy, focusing on his status as an outsider. “Outsider. Freud is the latest entry in [Yair] Qedar’s The Hebrews Project, a documentary series dedicated to preserving the histories of Hebrew writers and Jewish authors from the 17th century to present. Crucial to imparting and sharing the stories of those who came before and influence today, this film honors and upends the legacy of Freud as we know it.”
