Keywords: Obsessional Neurosis – Desire - The Other - Acting out - Film Theory Summary: Kubrick’s film, Eyes Wide Shut, provides a vivid and clinically accurate portrayal of an obsessional neurotic. The author uses Lacanian theory to point out obsessional features, and concludes that blindness to desire ensures that an obsessional can gain indirect access to the object through the function of misrecognition. |
