In his juicy English accent, Slavoj Žižek analyzes famous scenes from The Conversation, The Great Dictator and The Matrix, among others. It is no coincidence that Žižek often references films by Alfred Hitchcock and David Lynch, both influential film makers who are inspired by psychoanalysis. Žižek brings his arguments from meticulously recreated set decors and does this so naturally, so convincingly and so fast that the viewer is left dizzy. To what extent are filmmakers aware of the subconscious component of their own creativity? And to what extent does this component contribute to the success of the films? The Pervert's Guide to Cinema offers a refreshing, surprising look at cinema and what it does to us as viewers. A must for every movie buff!
