Traumatic experiences can leave the subject with traces that are not translated into memories. This article proposes to illustrate the specificities of the reactivation of mnemonic traces using a cinematographic medium: two fictional characters attempt to remember using very different psychic processes, one in I. Bergman’s Wild Strawberries and A. Hitchcock’s The House of Doctor Edwardes. This analysis questions the way in which traumatic experiences are symbolised, in order to bring out, by returning to clinical and psychopathological questions, a reflection on the evolution of listening paradigms in psychoanalysis.
