The Pervert's Guide to Cinema

The film takes the viewer on an exhilarating ride through some of the greatest movies ever made. Serving as presenter and guide is the charismatic Slavoj Zizek, the Slovenian philosopher and psychoanalyst. With his engaging and passionate approach to thinking, he delves into the hidden language of cinema, uncovering what movies can tell us about ourselves. Whether he is untangling the famously baffling films of David Lynch, or overturning everything you thought you knew about Hitchcock. The film cuts its cloth from the very world of the movies it discusses; by shooting at original locations and on replica sets, it creates the illusion that Zizek is speaking from within the films themselves.
