Double Indemnity the Graph of Desire, Metalepsis The “retroactive transmutation of the scene” is, it has already been noted, discernible not only in the cinematic category but also in the filmic objects that constitute it. The relation between the first scene and the penultimate scene of Double Indemnity suggests the metonymic-metaphoric relation between signifiers and the resultant production of the signified theorised with the point de capiton. The film presents a narrative structure in which a scene at the end of the film gives meaning to a scene at the beginning. The film’s opening sequence – a desperate confession in a darkened office – cannot be understood until it is brought into connection with a subsequent scene: the murder and attempted murder of the final flashback.126 There is an indeterminacy to the first scene of Double Indemnity that suggests Lacan’s dialectic of anticipation and retroaction.127 A man enters a building at night, presumably his workplace. He appears to be unwell. There is an unspecified stain on his left shoulder. He speaks into the Dictaphone, ‘I suppose you’ll call this a confession when you hear it’: a line which anticipates its own retroactive determination. He announces that he is Walter Neff. He introduces characters and elements – the Dietrichson case, a murder for which he is responsible – but their meaning is uncertain. He gestures to his shoulder with the line, ‘No visible scars, ‘til now that is’, thereby conferring meaning to the stain, which now becomes a wound. The scene then dissolves into a flashback. Now, fast-forwarding through the film to arrive at the scene which finally produces the meaning of this first one, Phyllis Dietrichson hides a revolver beneath her chair and Neff walks through the door. Their dialogue retroactively modifies preceding events: ‘We were talking about automobile insurance. You were thinking about murder. I was thinking about that anklet’. Finally, as first Phyllis shoots Neff, and then Neff – wounded but not dead – kills her, the 126 Considering a film in this way, it is tempting to designate this juxtaposition the “death drive version” of the narrative, which is to say, the shortest distance between two points. 127 Indeed, Richard Dyer suggests that noir is characterised by an ‘endemic epistemological uncertainty’ (Richard Dyer, The Culture of Queers (London: Routledge, 2002), p. 110). meaning of that first scene has been revealed. As he staggers out of the Dietrichson house (and presumably makes hi...
