Production Overview

THE PERVERT’S GUIDE TO IDEOLOGY was a long time in development. Following discussions and email exchanges, Fiennes created a 100 page document drawn from Žižek texts. The film was shot on location in California and all remaining interior footage was shot in Dublin, Ireland. Sets were built in Ardmore Studios and the shoot took place over ten days in September 2011. The editing took almost a year, and post-production was all carried out in Ireland.
