Cinema and Psychoanalysis presents Her by Spike Jonze.

Continuing its collaboration with the National Cinema Museum, in its commitment to research significant meanings for the social dimension of existence, the Turin Psychoanalysis Centre is proposing the commented viewing of Spike Jonze’s film Her as a moment for reflection.

This showcase deals with exploring themes related to “borders”, which are not only geographical, political or humanitarian ones. In fact, psychoanalytical research also journeys along inner and relational “frontier zones” of the body-and-psyche unit and of the Self in relation to the Other. Thus arguing how much and how it may be possible to deal with certain forms of psychic suffering, of mental pain, but also with the existential challenge. The film will be introduced and commented by Maria Teresa Palladino. Admission 6.00/4.00 euro.
