Zizek!

“The film trails the thinker as he crisscrosses the globe, All the while Zizek
obsessively reveals the invisible workings of ideology through his unique blend of
Lacanian psychoanalysis, Marxism, and critique of pop culture. Never ceasing to
observe the paradoxes that underpin our perception of reality, little goes
untheorized over the course of the film, particularly Zizek's recurring themes --
ideology, belief, revolution, and love. But Zizek is also unafraid to turn his critical
gaze on himself, astutely analyzing his private life for the camera and
contemplating his conflicted relationship to his growing celebrity.”
