“A cinematic experience of Žižek's interpretations of reality and virtual reality.”
In this tour de force filmed lecture Slavoj Žižek lucidly and compellingly reflects on belief - which takes him from Father Christmas to democracy - and on the various forms that belief takes drawing on Lacanian categories of thought. In a radical dismissal of todays so called post-political era he mobilizes the paradox of universal truth urging us to dare to enact the impossible. It is a characteristic virtuoso performance moving promiscuously from subject to subject but keeping the larger argument in view.
