The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema
Aren’t movies full of psychological signs and symbols, packed with Freudian slips? Aren’t the extraordinary stories of the silver screen, its surreal images and sentimental journeys, in fact, a key to our inner worlds? The Slovenian philosopher and psychoanalyst Slavoj Zizek has attracted international attention with his work in the border zone between philosophy and psychoanalysis and has been called an “academic rock star� and the “wild man of theory�. He claims that he can only properly grasp a complex psychoanalytical concept by translating it into the “inherent imbecility of popular culture�. And this he does in particular in connection with film, writing prolifically about cinema in an attempt to explain psychoanalytical processes. In THE PERVERT’S GUIDE TO CINEMA Zizek takes us on a quirky tour that explores his unique form of film analysis. Along the way he encounters directors like David Lynch, the Wachowsky brothers, Jane Campion, Stephen King and Walter Murch, as well as three of Hitchcock’s blonds: Eve Marie Saint, Kim Novak and Tippi Hedren. With his provocative, imaginative and often humorous observations about cinema – from CHARLIE CHAPLIN to “THE MATRIX� – he succeeds in conveying film analysis as well as philosophy in a highly entertaining way. Thus Zizek gives us surprising insight into the world of cinema, and vicariously also into the nature of the human consciousness.
