Is this a still shot from a film? She looks to be in 1940's dress and the actor looks like he could be playing Freud. Hmmmm.

Excerpt from another site:

"Princess Marie"

Director: Benoit Jacquot France/ Germany, released 2004Duration: 185 min., VideoLanguage: German & French w/subtitles

"Catherine Deneuve stars as Marie Bonaparte, grandniece of Napoleon and princess of Greece and Denmark. Suffering from 'frigidity', she travels to Vienna in the 1920s to begin a new experimental form of treatment: psychoanalysis with Dr. Sigmund Freud. Their real-life doctor-patient relationship became a 20-year friendship, during which she served as Freud's disciple, patron, and, after the rise of the Nazis, protector."

oh, yeah I forgot Freud had two chows, he even referred to them in a couple of his papers. He'd use them for patients, chows inspire a calming tactile response in humans, (he noted this) and he would have the chows come in and let them approach the patients and soon the patients would start petting the chows and taling their heads off.
