Description
Summary:The paper approaches the theme of nightmare in two classical short films by Akira Kurosawa and Masaki Kobayashi, by way of Lacanian psychoanalysis. I analyze Freud's theory of dreams together with Lacan's reinterpretation of it, considering an indescribable memory of the nightmare that belongs to the Other as a radical lack. Relating to the navel of the dream and to the mystery surrounding it and blurring the already thin borders between sleep and awakening, all these key dimensions of the nightmare stand for its impossibility to be defined, thus intertwining life and death by way of the rigorously portrayed uncanny from the Japanese cinema.
