The Pervert's Guide to Cinema *

The general concept is that Slavoj Zizek uses actual or simulated sets from a number of films as backdrops for shots of him talking about those films, complete with clips from the films, into which he kind of edits himself. Or something. I tend to appreciate movies that use the medium to discuss other movies (see This Film Is Not Yet Rated, and Zizek has some interesting ideas, though I don't personally go in for a lot of psychoanalysis of films or directors, at least not as anything more than one of many possible superimposed interpretations of what probably needs no interpretation in the first place.
