Abstract: From the challenging perspective of studying film work, we seek to identify in Helen, a film by André Collazzo (2019), the ways of seeing and saying things in the city. Foucault asks about our current times: “What is our current times? What is the current field of possible experiences?” Thus, we privilege the notions discussed by Foucault about the relationships between the subject, as the one who problematizes the individual himself, and the truth. Wouldn’t cynically telling the truth be a way of resisting, of moving, of not remaining the same? Modern art, by relating lifestyle and the manifestation of truth, is configured as an example of cynical parrhesia. This makes it possible to lay bare, to take off the makeup, to reach the elementary aspects of existence. In film arts, we find elements that lay bare truths and, as a cynicism of culture, can constitute a strategy of power, of resistance, in the apprehension of the subject’s new way of being. What are we, in a thought as a strategy, capable of saying and seeing today about the woman, the girl Helen in the film Helen? The filmmaker Collazzo unsettles the viewer, strips him bare inside and out. He looks and makes us look with parrhesiastic words and images.
