there the danger with the critic or philosopher slavoj zizek with his film and direct by sophie fiennes and which take together a wonderful amalgam of silent and horror and sci fi and surreal and other contemporary thriller together to make his point ofr freudian comparison to overload . but in the pervert guide to cinema he also make even the more far reach point a point of departure from any other analysis i have see on a collective section of film . while it doesn not cover the expansive territory scorsese movie documentary cover and the same attachment be there and and zizek have a definite love for all of these perverse example and film and primarily the work of hitchcock and lynch and chaplin and tarkovsky . yet one shouldn not go into see this if you can find it that be and i get to see it almost by luck think zizek will just try and dissect all of the psycho sexual part or part refer it in an obtuse and derange manner . if anything he open up one to point that might never be consider otherwise would one think of three of the marx brother a representation of the id and super ego and ego ( harpo example be most dead on for me ) . he not just one to take on the classic though and he also consider the food for thought in the matrix and fight club in representation of the split between fantasy and reality and if the matrix need the energy as much a the energy need the matrix for the former and and in the attachment of violence in deal with one own self as well a one double in the latter . he even throw in a piece from the pivotal moment in revenge of the sith when anakin become darth vader and and the implication of shun away fatherhood under that back mask at the very moment his child birth happen elsewhere . the ideal of fatherhood and male sexuality and the male point of view in turn fantasy into reality ( at which point zizek rightfully point to a the moment of a nightmare creation ) and and female subjectivity and be explore perhaps most dead on with vertigo . this too go for a scene that zizek deconstructs a if it the zapruder film and where he dissect the three collide point of psycho sexual stance in the wouldo not you look at me scene in blue velvet . now it would be one thing if zizek himself go about make these sincere and excited and and somehow plausible point just face on to the camera or mostly in voice over a scorsese do . but he go a step far to accentuate his point of fantasy and reality and and how they overlap and intersect and become one and the same and or spread off more crucially into some netherworld or primordial feeling for some character ( i. e. lose highway ) by put himself in the location the film take place in . funniest be first see him in the boat heading towards the same dock tippi hedren boat head to at the beginning of the bird while equally funny be a he water the blue velvet lawn he go on to explain the multi faceted point of frank booth while only one and when he in solaris like territory and do it seem a little cheesy . but zizek seem to be have a lot of fun with this set up and and after a while one bypass the potential crux of this gimmick and zizek word come through . there be some film i of course would have expect and chiefly from hitchcock and lynch and but a treat for movie buff come from see two thing the movie that one would never think of see in a film about film title the pervert guide of cinema ( top two for me would be the disney pluto cartoon and the exposition on chaplin film and albeit with a great note about the power and distinction of voice ) and and the one that one hasn not see yet ( i. e. the ventriloquist horror film and dr. mabuse and stalker and among a few others ) that inspire immediate feeling of wow and i have to see that immediately and no question ask . zizek be a powerful writer with his work and and put it forward with a clarity that remind one why we watch movie in the first place and to be entertain and sure and but also to have that actual experience of sit down and have something up there and a he put it and look into a toilet . it probably one of the great film about cinema and and in such a splendidly narrow analysis of how freud work it way into film regard desire and the id or super ego or ego and and of the supernatural in fantasy and that you may never see . unless distribution finally kick in and if only on the small level .
