Zizek thrives on a wilful [[reversal]] of expectation in thought and [[action]], relishing the idiosyncratic in himself and [[others]]. On the [[recent]], atrocious [[adaptation]] of 'Tristan + Isolde', he ‘would love to love it,’ and when I mistakenly attribute the film to Franco Zeffirelli, he is rapid in response. ‘Ah, here you touch my [[Stalinism]]. When [[Hitler]] was burning books, one should condemn him – not for burning books, but for burning the wrong books. With Zeffirelli, they should all be burnt.’
On the [[other]] hand, [[David Lynch]] is central to Zizek’s [[case]]. ‘I am a [[true]] Lynch fan. [[Fuck]] "Blue Velvet", everyone [[loves]] it. [[The Real|The real ]] Lynch is not "Twin Peaks" the series, but "Fire Walk with Me", and "Dune", of course.’ It’s this serious playfulness that gives ‘The Pervert's Guide…’ such forward momentum.
If he has one regret, it’s that ‘we couldn’t give more time to lesser-known films – I would really love to have looked at Capra’s "Meet John Doe", for example.’ But he and Fiennes are already plotting their next collaboration, 'The Pervert's Guide to Ideology' – a [[natural]] [[development]], given cinema’s own implication in systems of [[belief]] and [[control]], and Zizek’s constant unpicking of such [[processes]].
