The Cinematic Influence on Cultural Ideology
Few realize how significantly our individual and cultural ideologies are influenced by the popular media and movie industry. The eccentric and colourful Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek takes us on a heady journey exploring “the mechanisms that shape what we believe and how we behave” in his book/documentary The Perverts Guide to Ideology
“Though its ideas are indeed heady and high-flown, they are presented in a way that’s consistently engaging and accessible. And the bearded, bulky, Slovenia-born Žižek comes across as a born raconteur and explainer, the kind of professor whose courses are deservedly his department’s most popular. You don’t have to share his materialist philosophy to find his analyses of culture and movies witty, insightful and usefully thought-provoking.” —Godfrey Cheshire
