The film Tereddüt was analyzed with the Lacanian psychoanalytical approach. Imaginary period, symbolical period and real period, which constitute Lacan’s argument, were grounds of the study, and the relationships of female characters’ lives were investigated with these periods as a part of the film narrative. Important actions that fall within the narrative and affect female characters’ lives, and also the effect of these actions on the mental worlds of women characters were explained by psychoanalytical facts. Spectators’ feelings about gaze onfemale characters and their identification with them were questioned along with criticisms of feminist film theoreticians on the Lacanian approach. In this context, psychoanalytical analysis of the feelings of female characters in a film shot by a female director was aimed to be opened for discussion also with regard to feminist film practice.
