Should I see this?
Question for people who have seen this film:
I like film history and film criticism, so I'm thinking of watching this film when it is shown near me.
However, I'm young and not (yet) an all-out cinephile; I've seen only a small fraction of the films referenced in this film (I counted eight from the list posted by someone in another thread). Is that a good or bad thing? Specifically, I'm worried that:
(1) I'll be confused by Zizek's commentary because I don't have enough background knowledge about the films he discusses, even though he shows relevant clips; or
(2) His perspectives on the films I haven't seen will bias my readings of those films or even spoil my enjoyment of those films.
Need I worry about these things?
