In the present essay, the authors use David Fincher's Fight Club (1999) to explore the intertwining between cinema and psychoanalysis, trying to understand what makes this movie leave a mark on our culture. Our hypothesis is that Fight Club manages to enunciate something about adolescence, which stands out as one of the most expressive traits of contemporary subjectivation. Adolescence, understood as a structuring time, is characterized by the exercise of an authorial position that is however postponed indefinitely as an effect of the very culture conformation. As so, we examine the difficulties of inscribing a unique mark as the spark for the anguish that flows throught Fight Club's story and traps the contemporary subjects in the adolescent status.
