ŽIŽEK! trails the thinker as he crisscrosses the globe, racing from New York City lecture halls, through the streets of Buenos Aires, and even stopping at home in Ljubljana, Slovenia. All the while Žižek obsessively reveals the invisible workings of ideology through his unique blend of Lacanian psychoanalysis, Marxism, and critique of pop culture.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Zizek is a revolutionary playing a comedian playing a revolutionary. Which makes him worth watching, even in this movie.
– Joshua Glenn,
Boston Globe,
3 Mar 2006
rotten:
With an exclamation point suggesting the collegial equivalent of Beatlemania, Zizek! is a movie made by a groupie too enamored of her subject to make a satisfying film about him.
– Jeff Shannon,
Seattle Times,

rotten:
Americans might want to approach him first on the printed page rather than the hyperactive Zizek!
– Lou Lumenick,

Taylor, making her first feature-length documentary, has the wits to capture the taut mind and disheveled lifestyle of a very funny man.
