Žižek : The Reality of the Virtual

Synopsis
Lacanian philosopher and cultural theorist Slavoj Žižek has been described as ‘the Elvis of cultural theory’, a misleading though at times strangely apposite title for the one-time Slovenian presidential candidate whose prodigious output includes some 50 volumes including works on Hitchcock and David Lynch. This documentary follows the charismatic cultural theorist as he gives sell-out lectures both in the US and in Argentina, and is a mixture of a philosophy lesson and a portrait in film.
