In The Pervert's Guide to Cinema, Slavoj Žižek navigates the desires which are implicit in our cinema. His discussion propels films by Hitchcock, Tarkovsky and Lynch into the territory of Freud and Lacan, but with the charm of this Slovenian philosopher who believes "the first duty of philosophy is making you understand what deep s--- you are in!". This documentary is essential viewing. I've linked one of my favourite parts below.
Thank you Archer Davies and Nat Koyama for sharing this with me.
