Whether he is untangling the famously baffling films of David Lynch, or overturning everything you thought you knew about Hitchcock, Žižek illuminates the screen with his passion, intellect, and unfailing sense of humour.

[Zizek] steers clear of his usual dense Hegel-centric language and goes straight for the fun bits.
