This paper proposes a semiological reading of the film Je t'aime moi non plus, directed by Serge Gainsbourg in France in 1976. The study has the guiding theorist Roland Barthes, for whom the sense production process takes place from a relationship between form and content, where the meaning is less important than the significant structural game. It is about a perception that pluralizes the text definition and perceives as subjectivity performing space, not only the author but also the reader. Barthes outlines then a Theory of Reading, which defends the subject vocation that is read about it in let himself through the language and restores the polysemy of meaning. Under this assumption, it is observed that such a cinematic narrative proposes a predictable play to this subject, where either the sign seems tied to the stereotype, or indicates a break with this crystallization of meaning.Downloads
