Yes, its been screened and broadcast almost everywhere by now, and the documentary was, uh, discussed
hereabouts some months ago.
And there are more
Pervert's Guides in the pipeline: Zizek and director Sophie Fiennes are already developing their next documentary collaboration,
The Pervert's Guide to Ideology – an expected development or "sequel", when allowance is made for cinema’s own implication in systems of belief and hegemony, and Zizek’s constant undermining and deconstruction of such processes. Apparently, the documentary, currently in production, is examining contemporary commercial cinema as a state ideological apparatus. His film examples will include such as
Munich, United 93, The Village, and The Da Vinci Code and will be accompanied by clips from the films [betcha he'll smuggle in
Borat somewhere ...]. Also planned for later is
The Pervert's Guide To Opera. Ouch!
Wish someone would do
The Idiot's Guide To Perversion. Come on down Mr Godard and Mr Lynch!
BTW, the DVD of
The Pervert's Guide To Cinema has just been released,
here (‘
Wait for the DVD, ten hours of deleted scenes!’ -
clip), but maybe we should take Zizek at
his word here: ‘
I was in New York and there were these signs, “
Don’t buy pirated movies, you are supporting terrorism and communism” blah blah blah. So I thought, from now on, I will only buy pirate DVDs. Maybe the spontaneous communism of the medium will finally triumph.’
So make sure, therefore, you
only buy a pirated copy of the DVD.
