One of the most emphasized issues in the history of cinema is the relationship between cinema and reality. The first films shot by the Lumière Brothers presented the truth to the audience in a simple way. In addition, George Méliès, one of the most important names of silent cinema,brought a creative approach to the reflection of life. Different movements, directors and technical developments that emerged in the adventure of cinema have led to innovations regarding the relationship between cinema and reality. This study primarily deals with some perspectives and periods in the history of cinema, which somehow continues to show the truth despite all developments. The second issue discussed in the continuation of the information given about these periods is the visualization of the psychological approach to reality in cinema. In this context, the focus is on the theory of Karen Horney, an important psychoanalytic theorist, who considers the relationship between the individual and the society surrounding him in the context of reality. This theory focuses on the concept of conflict regarding the individual. In this context, the films of Michael Haneke, who is one of the best narrators of reality and the conflict situation of the individual in cinema, are considered important. Within the scope of the study, Haneke's film Benny's Video was analyzed with a psychoanalytic approach, based on Horney's theories. Accordingly, while the film clearly represents reality, it also contains discourses regarding the neurotic states of the individual in the context of family, media and society. Benny, the hero of the film, has a neurosis of alienation from people as a character who is detached from reality. According to the conclusion and evaluation reached in the study, this film by Haneke addresses criticisms of alienated and problematic people from a realistic perspective.
