| Summary: | <p class="Abstract">This article is about the representation of maternal domination and <span style="font-size: 1rem;">the trial in the film </span>J’ai tué ma mère <span style="font-size: 1rem;"> of Xavier Dolan through narrative </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">and cinematographic film aspects. The analysis is supported by Michel </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Foucault’s concept of power to see the shape of dominance of the </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">mother figure that occurs in the film. The power is the cornerstone of </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">the training of domination that leads to repression against others, </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">including within the family. The results of the analysis through </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">narrative and cinematographic aspects of the film shows that </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">dominance is formed due to the failure of the communication that </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">exists between the forces and causes the formation of resistance by </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">the dominated figures, the boy. The power and the domination of a </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">very large maternal figure in the figure of the boy life causes problems </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">and conflicts between them, thus creating a distance in the </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">relationship between the mother and the child. The resistance of the </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">dominant figure is intended to challenge the power of domination. </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Dominance is also reinforced by the matriarchal cultural factors </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">within the culture of the community in Quebec, which is the setting for </span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">the film.</span></p><p class="Abstract"><span lang="FR"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
