The Best Overview of Cinema I've Ever Seen. Period. Oct 15, 2009
By LucyC You get a lot of bang for your buck with The Pervert's Guide to Cinema, and it's guaranteed to blow your mind. Three 50 minute sections direct from the whirling mind of the ever-clever Slavoj Zizek, brilliantly illustrated by Sophie Fiennes. It's hard to overpraise this film - it completely changes the way you watch movies. Like the New York Times said: "The clips from Hitchcock and Lynch films are so numerous and Mr. Zizek's comments so incisive that after watching "The Pervert's Guide to Cinema," you may never see these directors' movies the same way again." I've watched this film over and over - it's better than any Film 101 class at university.

cinema as a pervert art Sep 21, 2010
By gfpreger the cinema is the ultimate pervert art, says slavoj zizek, the brilliant left wing provocateur. dublé of philosopher and psychoanalist, the slovenian zizek tries to bring back the art of interpretation focusing in the levels cinema moves our desire. a film, as any work-of-art, do not tells us what to desire but how we desire; as zizek says, desire is not natural in us: we must be taught to desire. To do this, sofhie fiennes puts zizek inside the movies as a endogetic comentator of the films, which are read by a freudian/lacanian perspective. after viewing this film (or films, because there are 3 parts) we all shall have the desire to see the many films zizek talks about during this doc. it is the minimum desire we should have after seeing it...
