Quote:
In 1973 Benoit Jacquot shot two films on Jacques Lacan, Psychanalyse I and II, broadcast on French television the same year. Les Éditions du Seuil published the text the following year; the English version appeared in 1990 under the imprint of W.W. Norton.

Quote:
JEAN- JACQUES BROCHIER : Whose idea was it to shoot a film ?

BENOIT JACQUOT : Mine. The Institut National de l’Audovisuel (at that time called the Service de la Recherche at the O.R.T.F.) was headed by Pierre Schaeffer who was fond of making films about major thinkers. Contrary to others who freely participated, Lacan always avoided any association with television. Since I worked closely with Schaeffer, I talked him into this project — to make a film on or about Lacan. “You can always try,” he said, “if you succeed, so much the better!”

In those days Écrits was the only text available for reading and it had made a strong impression on me — I was very much taken with it. I had the intuition to bypass Lacan himself and instead reach Jacques-Alain Miller, whom I did not know personally, and ask him if he was interested in working with me on a film about Lacan. He was very polite but gave me a Normand’s answer: He would be interested only if Doctor Lacan was. He suggested I call Lacan and inform him about our conversation. Lacan said I should meet him at his office, but he probably forgot about it, because when I arrived I had to wait until his last patient left in order to speak with him. The idea of making a film with Miller convinced him. And then, owing to the fact that he almost never watched television, I told him how psychoanalysis was treated — or rather mistreated — particularly in a program broadcast a few weeks before with an eminent psychoanalyst who happened to be one of his disciples. He was thoroughly flabbergasted and this gave him one more reason to agree, to make his mark apropos of what could be done in the name of psychoanalysis.

The post Benoît Jacquot – Jacques Lacan: la psychanalyse 1 (1974) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Jacques Lacan (1901-1981) is widely regarded as one of the most influential psychoanalysts of the 20th century, one whose work has refashioned psychiatry both as a theory of the unconscious mind and as a clinical practice. His seminars and writings have also had a widespread influence throughout the humanities and social sciences, especially in education, legal studies, literary and film studies and women’s studies.

As JACQUES LACAN SPEAKS, a rare filmed documentary record of a 1971 university speaking appearance, makes clear, Lacan was also a highly controversial figure, with legions of both worshipful adherents and scornful critics. Appearing before a packed lecture hall, Lacan discourses—in his slow, deliberate, often circumlocuitous speaking style—on such subjects as death, language, psychoanalysis, love, alienation, paranoia and life itself.

At one point his talk is disrupted by a young student, who contributes his own Situationist-inspired ridicule of self-styled public intellectuals such as Lacan. Rather than allowing security personnel to remove him, Lacan allows the young man to speak and later attempts to “respond” to his criticisms and to incorporate them into his presentation.

The following morning, Lacan submits to a filmed interview—interspersed with images of the various apartments, consulting rooms and lecture halls he used throughout his career—in which he responds to the filmmaker’s questions about psychoanalysis, discussing how delirium reveals the unconscious, the role of the psychoanalyst, the relationship between doctor and patient, the process of transference, and the close bond between love and hate.
