Pervert’s Guide to Ideology, The

Director Fiennes, of The Pervert’s Guide To Cinema fame, reunites with the ‘Rock Star of Philosophy’, Slavoj Žižek, this time extending the philosopher’s massive intellect – not to mention showmanship – beyond the pictures and into to the ideology that moves them. Gleefully inserting Žižek into the virtual worlds of Hollywood Classics, B-movies, propaganda and advertising, the Pervert duo effortlessly guide us over a sea of codes, dreams and messages that make up this fluid world, one where enjoyment is compulsory, and the truth really hurts. What is ideology? What does it want from us? Who pulls our strings? And can we ever really be free? For anyone getting ready to question the unquestioned, and even for those who aren’t, Žižek’s new cinematic outing is infectious, entertaining, and like the man himself, very difficult to ignore.
