2h 14m Documentary 2015

Philosopher Slavoj Zizek tackles some of the most profound questions posed by world renowned films.

Slavoj Žižek returns in The Pervert’s Guide to Ideology, turning cinema into a mirror for our collective unconscious. From The Sound of Music to They Live, he explores how ideology defines what we desire, consume, and believe often without noticing. Sophie Fiennes crafts a visually brilliant, mind-bending journey through the politics of everyday life.

Rialto Recommends: The Pervert’s Guide to Ideology. Directed by Sophie Fiennes, this mind-bending journey turns philosophy into performance and cinema into a mirror of our collective desires. Provocative, playful, and unsettling, this is film theory at its most entertaining.
