- Slavoj Zizek's Pervert's Guide to Cinema has been playing on More 4 in the UK And it's bloody good stuff - I read a lot of his work while I was not completing my doctorate, but the TV series is even better.

I caught a quick glimpse of this on Monday night. This guy's a powerhouse. "Infectious enthusiasm" indeed!

I recommend the unexpectedly hilarious film Zizek!

I agree. I was expecting some waffly pretentions rubbish, and the title made me more than a tad wary, but I couldn't stop watching -- the man knows his stuff. And he even makes sense out of David Lynch! Must see/read more.

Any recommendations Zizek readings?
I was particularly interested in the stuff about the relationship of reality-in-movies to other/everyday realities (or whatever, it was quite late), and his psychoanalytical crossover stuff.

I wanted to watch this, but I couldn't understand his accent on the trailers, so for me it would have been a bit of a bugger to watch.
I don't think they have subtitles on More4 do they?
