Jacques Lacan: La Psychanalyse 1 & 2

This documentary features Jacques Lacan responding to questions from his son-in-law, Jacques-Alain Miller. The program was directed by Benoît Jacquot and produced by ORTF, the French public television network. It is significant as the only televised experience involving Lacan, offering insights into his work and thoughts on psychoanalysis.

In addition to Lacan's theories, the documentary explores his charismatic influence and the complexities of transference in clinical practice. Interviewees describe Lacan's allure and the mixed perceptions of his personality, with some considering him almost a "monster" due to his seductive nature. This film not only presents Lacan's ideas but also the impact he had on those around him, making it a compelling watch for anyone interested in the intricacies of psychoanalytic theory and its practitioners.
