As China’s top Communists gathered Friday morning on the stage beneath a giant hammer and sickle in the Great Hall of the People there was one very conspicuous absentee.


Former Chinese President and Communist Party General Secretary Jiang Zemin (pictured) has been present at almost all major ceremonial events since he handed the country’s reins to his successor, Hu Jintao, in 2003.


The Communist Party of China celebrated the 90th anniversary of its founding on Friday and the celebrations in the Great Hall in central Beijing’s Tiananmen Square were attended by 6,000 of the country’s nomenklatura.


But despite the attendance of many other senior cadres from Jiang’s administration, including former Premiers Zhu Rongji and Li Peng, the former commander-in-chief was nowhere to be found.


Unconfirmed Hong Kong media reports have suggested in recent months that Jiang, 84, has been hit by a serious illness that has left him incapacitated or at least unable to appear in public.


The health of senior serving or retired Chinese officials is usually considered a state secret and off-limits for tightly controlled Chinese media but in most cases the death of a top leader or former leader is announced within one or two days.


In 2009, Jiang stood next to President Hu on the rostrum overlooking Tiananmen Square as the People’s Republic of China celebrated its 60th birthday with a huge military parade.


In December last year, Jiang did not attend the funeral of former Chinese foreign minister Huang Hua, prompting tea-leaf reading political analysts and the Beijing gossip mill to speculate that he was too sick to appear in public.


Jiang was appointed to China’s top political posts in 1989 in the midst of the Tiananmen demonstrations and subsequent brutal crackdown.


More than a decade later he oversaw the first ever orderly transition of power in the history of the PRC when he stepped down in favour of Hu, although he retained enormous power within the Party, government and military and was still consulted on many issues until very recently. Read More

Featuring Mortensen as Freud and Fassbender as Jung, the two early 1900s groundbreaking psychologists, the film tells the dramatic story of Sabina Spielrein (Knightley), the mad Russian young woman admitted into Jung's care in 1904 in Switzerland. Having helped her through the time, evidence later suggested that the two had an affair, an unethical breach of doctor-patient protocol, especially in such a sensitive field.

Spielrein would go on to become an analyst herself, one of the first prominent female members of the field and a prominent Russian talent.

The film is based on a London play called "The Talking Cure," one of a number of stage productions about the drama. In 2005, the documentary, "Ich hieß Sabina Spielrein," or, "My Name Was Sabina Spielrein," was released, based on documents found in a box of her things in 1977.

For Knightley, it's a return to historical drama, where she's made an impact with "Dr. Zhivago," "King Arthur," and "Pride and Prejudice." Fassbender is on a roll himself, having just starred in the hit "X-Men: First Class." Vincent Cassel, of "Black Swan" fame, also stars in the film.

Deep into a summer of superhero blockbusters and romantic comedies, the first trailers for the year's dramatic award hopefuls are starting to hit the web. First, it was Spielberg's "War Horse," followed by the Gary Oldman/Colin Firth spy thriller, "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy." Now, we get the based-on-a-true-story, psycho drama in every sense of the word,

A Dangerous Method," the Keira Knightley/Viggo Mortensen/Michael Fassbender period drama about the famous analysts Freud and Jung.
