Once again collaborating with Sophie Fiennes, "The Pervert's Guide to Ideology" is a follow-up to the documentary "The Pervert's Guide to Cinema." Despite being a continuation, the program is equally, if not more, impactful due to its relentless bombardment of ideas. In it, Zizek combines the terminology of psychoanalysis with cinematic works—some less popular, others widely recognized—to dissect ideology and its illusions. Ultimately, this documentary-film feels as if it has been transformed into a series of witticisms straight from Zizek's own mind.
