In 1988 Polish Catholic bishops tried to convince leaders of the Polish United Workers’ Party to ban The Last Temptation of Christ, a film by Martin Scorsese in Poland. In November 1989, during the first months of the new government, led by the non-communist Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki, the Diocesan Curia of Olsztyn forced a local cinema to ban a screening of Scorsese’s film by referring to decisions allegedly made by the former communist government. These events, a kind of exchange of favours between the party and the church, are presented in context of Polish People’s Republic foreign policy, its approach to the Catholic Church and the dissemination of Western auter cinema in late 1980s Poland.

This article, which brings together film, psychoanalysis, literature, and art, focuses on the role of paintings in Martin Scorsese’s The Age of Innocence (1993). Scorsese conveys the imprisonment of New York aristocrats within the framework of social conventions and their evasions of social restrictions through his employment of paintings. Because the protagonists’ emotions are not revealed often, the director communicates their dramas and actions with the help of the paintings they own or appear next to. The paintings operate as Jacques Lacan’s Other, an entity that watches over the characters to make sure they conform to its selfperpetuating rules. Scorsese’s use of paintings shows that the characters perform for the Other and seek to maintain the status quo. While most characters perform within a Lacanian symbolic order, their different responses to a variety of paintings underscore the flexibility of the symbolic order.
