Cinema e Psicanálise - Oscar e Wilder: Um Caso Limite.

This article aims to analyze the theme of borderline patients and trauma through an analysis of the Oscar & Wilder: Improbable Love film (Closet Monster). The film portrays the story of Oscar, a boy who goes through traumatic moments throughout his childhood, which, due to his subjective construction, have been updated in adulthood through the particular defense mechanisms of the borderline subject. We seek to understand how a traumatic situation is presented in a borderline structure, focusing on some works by Green and Ferenczi, among others, and relevant concepts from Freud for Psychoanalysis. Important themes are addressed regarding the subjective construction of these subjects, concerning the care of infants in the phase of primary narcissism, the concept of a dead mother, the drive circuit, the cleavage process, and the defense mechanisms that were evidenced in this structure of the main character. The approach to the theme of artistic production in these borderline cases is included, reflecting on these manifestations as a form of drive discharge in contrast to driving destiny.
