Abstract:
This work aims to reflect on Wim Wenders’ ethical and aesthetic commitment to silence based on his film Perfect days (2023). A film that proposes a past where not speaking —as a potential figure of silence— would promise perfect days. The Barthesian resource is taken to limit silence in a figure: that of not speaking, as well as the orientation of Jacques Lacan for whom the act of remaining silent does not free the subject from language. The ethics of silence is also developed in relation to the practice of psychoanalysis, which teaches that to speak is to fail, but it is also to remain silent. And it’s worth trying, every time, to fail better.
