The Pervert's Guide to Cinema (2006)


Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek subjects more than 40 mostly classic films, by directors ranging from Chaplin to Hitchcock, to psychoanalytic scrutiny.

The insights offered are not particularly new, but Slavoj Zizek presents them in entertainingly humorous and comprehensible lectures and the movie clips as examples to the theory are excellent.
