Children of Men is so fucking good except for the creepy CGI baby.

EDIT: Slavoj Zizek talks about one of his favorite films, Children of Men. Great breakdown of what makes it so good.

Ayyy Ive seen the zizek video too! He isnt the best analyst of movies, case in point v for vendetta but this was good.

Yeah, his movie analyses are usually done through the lens of psychoanalysis akin to Freud/Jung. Which is great if that's your thing, but isn't great if it's not haha.

I actually just read how to read lacan a few weeks ago who's a major influence in his work. Infact I'd go so far as to say zizek gave lacan the relevance he never had by reworking many of his ideas.

I swear I've never seen a movie like that before or since. I love Alfonso Cuarons style but even he can't recreate smth this revolutionarily good.
