Cattiva or The Wicked (1991)... Dr. Gustav
Plot Synopsis: "We are at the beginning of the nineteen-hundreds. Emilia, a young married lady has been admitted to a hospital run by Professor Brokner, because she is suffering from a form of schizophrenia. Doctor Gustav, who is doing his training at the hospital at the time, takes an interest in her case and tries to seek the causes of her illness. With great constancy and patience, and a passion for the as yet little-known psychoanalytical techniques, he establishes a special kind of contact with Emilia and then furthers his research by getting in touch with all the people who have played a certain role in Emilia's life. Thus, piece after piece, the jigsaw of the events that led Emilia from health to insanity is composed. This is the beginning of recovery and also for the two protagonists the discovery of new, profound, disturbing ambitions that go well beyond the narrow horizons of that era..."
