The makers of THE PERVERT’S GUIDE TO CINEMA return with THE PERVERT’S GUIDE TO IDEOLOGY. Philosopher Slavoj Zizek and filmmaker Sophie Fiennes use their interpretation of moving pictures to present a thrilling cinematic journey into the heart of ideology – the collective dreams that shape our beliefs and practices.
　
Director’s statement
Almost immediately after the release of THE PERVERT’S GUIDO TO CINEMA, Slavoj suggested we make The Pervert’s Guide to Ideology – and here it is Ideology is a major theme in Zizek’s body of work. His roots in psychoanalytic thinking produce a new understanding of how our world is structured. It feels like now, 2012, is absolutely the right time to make this film. It has been thrilling and demanding for me to bring these ideas together in a film. Through the examples we use, which range between movies, music, history and current events, ideology emerges as an ever-shifting fantasy frame shaping all societies. I am grateful to Slavoj for his generosity, trust and of course his phenomenal sense of humour! (S.F.)
