The Pervert's Guide to Cinema (2006)
Country: GB/ÖST/NL
Technical: col 150m
Director: Sophie Fiennes
Cast: Slavoj Zizek
Synopsis:
The Slovenian cultural commentator uses clips from the films of Hitchcock, Lynch, Tarkovsky, Chaplin and others to illustrate how the cinema has the ability to teach us both how to desire, and how to reveal our profoundest nightmares.
Review:
Whether crouched in a boat in Bodega Bay, or sitting in Mrs Bates's cellar, Zizek passionately extends Freudian psychoanalysis for the world of the movies. Men are typified by Scottie from Vertigo, mortifying Judy to become what he most desires, while women are more practical, represented by Kidman in Eyes Wide Shut, or the blind flower girl in City Lights. One may lose the thread at times, but it's never less than fascinating.
