Our take

In a colorful follow-up to Pervert’s Guide to Cinema, Slavoj Žižek calls on the daddies of philosophy and psychoanalysis to throw spanners into the works of dominant ideology. When it comes to analyzing Coke adverts, Nazi propaganda, and film classics, few are as dizzyingly enthusiastic as this!
