Abstract

Lacan sustains that we are always responsible for our position as subjects. Otherwise, that act produces a new subject. A criminal act also produces a new subject. After a criminal act, the question is what position will asume the subject that has been produced by that act. Produced as a criminal. Atom Egoyan´s Remember confronts us with that problem. The film is about justice and responsability, the problem of the memory for unforgivable acts, and the decisions about criminal past.
