Pervert’s Guide to Ideology
The Slovene philosopher, psychoanalyst and Marxist provocateur Slavoj Žižek follows up his 2006 documentary The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema with a new investigation into "the mechanisms that shape what we believe and how we behave".

Released 4 October in the UK, 1 November in the US and 29 November in Poland.
