The international rock star of
contemporary philosophy, pscyhoanalyst Slavoj Žižek serves as presenter
and guide. With his unusual, engaging and passionate approach to
thinking, Žižek delves into the hidden language of cinema, uncovering
what movies can tell us about ourselves. 
The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema offers an introduction into some of
Žižek’s most exciting ideas on fantasy, reality, sexuality,
subjectivity, desire, materiality and cinematic form. Whether he is
untangling the famously baffling films of David Lynch, or overturning
everything you thought you knew about Hitchcock, Žižek illuminates the
screen with his passion, intellect, and unfailing sense of humor. The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema applies Žižek’s ideas to the cinematic canon,
in what The New York Times calls ‘an extraordinary reassessment of
cinema.’
