ABSTRACT
The impressive developments in remote communications, and the growing dissemination of the social networks linked to them, are having a considerable and disturbing influence on many areas of our lives, including those of important personal relationships, love affairs among them. One of the most interesting areas touched by the use of the Internet is that of love relationships. From a psychoanalytical point of view, this is an interest that can also be linked to the clinical relationship. The The Correspondence film focuses on death and the possibilities offered by digital communication to deny reality and keep the relative anguish at bay. Giuseppe Tornatore’s film is complex, tackling various topics ranging from love to the beauty of art, from truth and falseness, to duality; from a psychoanalytical perspective, the reference to how people can change during therapy seems anything but secondary.
