The Pervert's Guide to Cinema is a 2006 documentary directed and produced by Sophie Fiennes, scripted and presented by Slavoj Žižek. It explores a number of films from a psychoanalytic theoretical perspective.
Fiennes and Žižek released a follow-up, The Pervert's Guide to Ideology on November 15, 2012. The format is similar, with Žižek speaking from within reconstructed scenes from films.
The Pervert's Guide to Cinema holds an 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with a consensus of, "Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek forgoes the textbook stuff for a fun, probing look at cinema and the human emotional response to it."
