– Lola Deveraux
The Seven-Per-Cent Solution is a 1976 British-American film, based on the novel of the same name by Nicholas Meyer.
The plot begins with Sherlock Holmes in the grip of a serious addiction to a seven-percent cocaine solution. His friend, Dr. John Watson, grows increasingly concerned for Holmes’ well-being. To help his friend, Watson devises a plan to deceive Holmes into seeking treatment. Watson lures Holmes to Vienna under the guise of solving a case, but the true purpose of their journey is to introduce Holmes to the renowned psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud.
In Vienna, Freud undertakes the challenge of treating Holmes, who initially resists the idea. As Freud delves into Holmes' psyche, he uncovers the root causes of the detective’s addiction, revealing elements of his past that have long haunted him. The film skillfully blends the fictional world of Holmes with real historical figures, placing Freud at the center of a new kind of mystery-solving duo. Together, Freud and Holmes unravel not only the detective's mental state but also a more conventional case involving a kidnapped woman and a sinister plot.
