Abstract

This paper discusses, from the movie The way he looks, by Brazilian director Daniel Ribeiro, the way psychoanalysis thinks human sexuality, always viewing it as a construction. For this reflection, three aspects of the film will be highlighted: the awakening of the protagonist's homosexuality, his blindness and his passage through adolescence. These aspects are related to each other through concepts of Freud and Lacan to address the relation between drive and its object.
