    A patient, a therapist and a discreet elusive character: the city of Paris

    "Adieu, Lacan" explores with compassion and honesty the devastating effect of cultural shock; the director brilliantly allows us to "witness" the complex relationship between an immigrant and the language and culture of her new "homeland". This film is a feast for the ears with its witty dialogues but also for the eyes with its beautiful photography. A patient, a therapist and a discreet elusive character: the city of Paris.

    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.

    Wonderful film with heart and soul and intelligence.

    I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film. As a psychoanalyst, I would say it is a gem of a film; in my opinion, a true masterpiece that so gently, subtly and accurately portrays an analytic treatment, and more specifically a treatment that proceeds along the lines of a Lacanian cure. An excellent film for analysts and non-analysts alike.

    Every elements of this film like the Amazing Directing, Magnificent Cinematography, Extraordinary Performance, Great Production Designing gave to the film a unique expressionism of Lacan. Simply Excellent !

    Stellar introduction to Lacan by a talented group of artists

    First of all, I loved "Adieu Lacan" so much! I watched it twice and I knew very little about Lacan to start with. The direction, cinematography, and acting were stellar.
