Very interesting essay, I think this essay along with my recent readings of excerpts of Freuds writings on dreams have really influenced how I understand the subconscious in general, would highly recommend.

Reading of Lost Highway is sensible. Much of the other stuff is either unnecessary rambling or generally just rubbish. Still, an important contribution to scholarship on Lynch, when Zizek is actually talking about Lynch.

In less than 50 pages, Žižek not only makes a thoroughly compelling examination of Lynch's intricate masterpiece LOST HIGHWAY, but he also delves into the rest of the filmmaker's body of work, as well as exploring the portrayal of Nazism in SCHINDLER'S LIST and LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, Jungian and Freudian psychology, cyberspace, and much more. Dense, but oh so worth it.
