Commentator/narrator, Slavoj Zizek.
"The brilliant philosopher Slavoj Zizek with filmmaker Sophie Fiennes, now using their inventive interpretation of moving pictures to examine ideology. The collective fantasies that shape our beliefs and practices."
Slovene philiosopher and psychoanalyst Slavoj Žižek explores and exposes how the movies we view reinforce prevailing ideologies, shaping both what we believe and how we behave.
