[lbo-talk] See Slavoj sweat ...

And here he is another new film as well:

Is cinema one big Freudian slip? What can the Marx Brothers tell us
about the workings of the unconscious? And why exactly do the birds
attack in Hitchcock's masterpiece of horror? Addressing these
questions and many more, The Pervert's Guide to the Cinema takes the
viewer on an exhilarating ride through the movies. Our guide is Slavoj
Zizek, acclaimed philosopher and psychoanalyst. Shot on location and
from replica sets, the film creates the illusion that Zizek is
speaking from within the films themselves: studying his notes in the
Psycho fruit cellar or hiding in the wardrobe as Dennis Hopper visits
Isabella Rossellini in Blue Velvet. Alternatively hilarious and
eye-opening, this is an unmissable treat for cinema perverts
everywhere.
