The Pervert's Guide to Ideology

A deep dive into the labyrinthine heart of ideology—the forces that shape and justify both collective and personal beliefs and practices. Fueled by infectious enthusiasm and an insatiable appetite for popular culture, Slovenian philosopher and psychoanalyst Slavoj Žižek analyzes several of cinema's most influential works to reveal how cinematic narrative reinforces prevailing ethics and political ideas.

7/10

Once again collaborating with Sophie Fiennes, "The Pervert's Guide to Ideology" is a follow-up to the documentary "The Pervert's Guide to Cinema." Despite being a continuation, the program is equally, if not more, impactful due to its relentless bombardment of ideas. In it, Zizek combines the terminology of psychoanalysis with cinematic works—some less popular, others widely recognized—to dissect ideology and its illusions. Ultimately, this documentary-film feels as if it has been transformed into a series of witticisms straight from Zizek's own mind.
