Theory in film studies, as elsewhere, is in crisis. The oncedominant psychoanalytic paradigm is contested by cognitive models and "PostTheory". In the background is a wider crisis in cultural studies, particularly as regards the public role of the politicallyengaged intellectual.In this major new study Slavoj iek challenges both cognitivisthistoricist accounts of cinema, and conventional film theory. Urging a more complex understanding of Lacan, iek seeks to revitalise psychoanalytic approaches to cinema, in defiance of the reductions of PostTheory, and in so doing opens up new pathways in cultural and critical thought.iek's theoretical arguments are substantiated by provocative and illuminating analyses of the work of the Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski (194196), from his early documentaries of everyday life to the celebrated "Decalogue" and "Three Colours" series. In addition iek embroiders his text with characteristically dazzling asides concerned with everything from Christian doctrine and the New Age obscurities of much of today's popular culture to the nature of cyberspace, the films of Davis Lynch, "multivitamin"flavoured fruit drinks, and Kleist's reading of Kant.
