Sophie Fiennes follows up The Pervert's Guide to Cinema with this equally playful and stimulating documentary, in which bearded, blustering Eastern European academic Slavoj Zizek holds forth on the ideological subtexts to movies from The Triumph of the Will to West Side Story.
This is film criticism as stand-up comedy or performance art: Zizek plays up to the camera but that doesn't diminish his wit or his insights.
