Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek forgoes the textbook stuff for a fun, probing look at cinema and the human emotional response to it.

The teachers we remember most fondly are often the ones who entertained as they enlightened, through hyperbole seasoned with grains of salt. Mr. Zizek belongs in that company. Jan 16, 2009 | Rating: 4/5

It sounds completely mad, but it hangs together because of the brilliant, hilarious decision to insert the garrulous philosopher into key scenes of the films he discusses. Jan 12, 2009 | Full Review…

A good film to show to budding cinephiles? Yes, but in the end, The Pervert's Guide to Cinema falls slightly short of the monumental thesis on cinema spectatorship for which it strives. Aug 1, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Maybe the art house isn't a place for perverts anymore. Indeed, the privacy of one's own laptop seems a somewhat safer setting for Zizek's kinky act of criticism. Aug 24, 2009 | Full Review…

Impresses with four stars for part one, but then fizzles out with the gabby shrink's repetitive, often meaningless psychobabble up to the finish line. Astute analysis or personal obsession? Paging the shrink's shrink. Jan 17, 2009 | Full Review…
