Understanding the Concept of Suture

The concept of suture is explored, highlighting its role in connecting the imaginary and the symbolic. While often perceived as a closing off or limiting factor in film theory, suture, as proposed by Lacan and Malaire, actually serves as an opening that reveals what doesn't fit within the narrative. By analyzing films like Gross Point Blank and Heat through this lens, viewers can appreciate how seemingly conventional narrative elements can actually convey underlying tensions and complexities that challenge traditional interpretations.
