Abstract: Wes Anderson's films are narratives about fatherhood structured by fatherhood, both in terms of technique and thematics. Reading Anderson's films through a Lacanian lens reveals the impact of castration on Anderson's work and how his films put viewers through the work of signification and its concomitant losses.
