A Marvelous Achievement. Sheer beauty.

Films that faithfully portray psychoanalysis and what it truly involves are rare. This is one of them, and is not to be missed. This is true art, capturing the evanescent and imperceptible in the texture of human suffering and the body that listens.

Wonderful Film That Manages The Impossible

Adieu Lacan is an extraordinary rendering of a psychoanalyst working with a patient. Based on a book, which was the story of an actual analysis with Lacan, this film makes a gripping drama out of the experience. Filmed in Black and White the cinematography is exquisite and the acting remarkable. I could watch this again and again (if only it was available to stream here in Aotearoa/New Zealand)

Beautiful depiction of psychoanalytic cure

Deeply moving, beautifully filmed and acted story of a woman searching for understanding of her life decisions, which direction to go. This search takes place in psychoanalytic room of Jacques Lacan, the famous French psychoanalyst. We never leave this room, bear witness to the patient and the doctor.

Fascinating experience.

One of the great rebel minds of our time has found his champion.

Adieu, Lacan is both a subtle tone poem and a bold foray into intellectual history. This is a film that will retain its value for the long haul. One of the great rebel minds of our time has found his champion. The film is directed with great confidence and aplomb, allowing the actors to give convincing, understated performances even while summoning the most consequential of themes and personages.
