description What are the limits of the cinematographic treatment of “morals “ and “justice”? Gaspar Noé’s film “ Alone Against All” has the virtue of testingour capacity to tolerate the emergence of the real. Is it the violence of the original traumas (slaughter of the father and abandonment of the mother)repairable, or is it condemned to be repeated from generation to generation? The definitions of morality and justice are moved throughout this film,framed in the heart of a historical-social tragedy: the symbolic law makes no more law. In these coordinates, is not the subject condemned to transgress, even in a rescue of “love”, the symbolic law of the prohibition of incest? “

El film de Gaspar Noé “Solo contra todos” tiene la virtud de poner a prueba nuestra capacidad de tolerancia a la emergencia de lo real. ¿Es la violencia de los traumas originales (masacre del padre y abandono de la madre) reparable, o está condenada a repetirse de generación en generación? Las definiciones de moralidad y justicia se ven conmovidas a lo largo de esta película, enmarcada en el corazón de una tragedia histórico-social: la ley simbólica no hace más ley. En estas coordenadas, ¿no está el sujeto condenado a transgredir, incluso en un rescate del “amor”, la ley simbólica de la prohibición del incesto?” Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios sobre Cultura y Sociedad 2020-07-02 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/eticaycine/article/view/29214 10.31056/2250.5415.v10.n1.29214 Ética y Cine Journal; Vol. 10 Núm. 1 (2020): Ética, Estética y Política; 71-86 2250-5415 2250-5660 10.31056/2250.5415.v10.n1 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/eticaycine/article/view/29214/30029 Derechos de autor 2020 Ética y Cine https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
