a friend who be very influence by derrida ask me if i want to come along and see the film . i do not know who he be and be very enthusiastic to see this film . i read the 3 precede review here at the imdb after see the film and i will say that the gross mediocrity of this film be sum up with perfection by those reviewer . it be glaringly obvious that the producer be completely unprepared and have absolutely no agenda and and i could not figure out what they hop to accomplish with this film . be it to praise or mock derrida . it be a 90 minute attempt to be stylish with no substance at all . i have no idea what the film be try to accomplish except drop in a 85 minute take of film with word speak at certain part in an attempt to show style ( and a few other obvious superficial attempt at style . ) not once be there a discussion or revelation a to what make derrida such a legend ( at least so i be tell ) and little if anything about be family life ( except at in the last third of the film ) and and the clip that be edit in make him appear like an incorrigible frenchman with a sense of humor and which he may be but i get the picture very early on in the film . there be an attempt to do a chronological bio by take his book ( i presume ) and read a passage from them in an asympathetic and new age monotone and attempt to show some brilliant connection between the quote and the scene in the film . but there really be no order and the scene show and largely and go unexplained . sometimes they be a superficial illustration in derrida life of the simple quote . nothing worthwhile and just style . the question ask to derrida be general and inane question with not a single followup . when derrida answer ( he frequently annoy answer such general stuff ) there be an obvious follow up question each time that be never ask . the best one be when derrida ramble about how he would love to know more about philosopers personal life because it so strange that they never speak about them . funny and because this film doesn not really say much at all about derrida personal life and derrida himself admit several time he have a hard time talk about it at all . refuse to and actually . do the interviewer ever ask why he be so intensely secretive about many thing and like other philosopher . no . instead we get several clip of what a sample lecture be like with a student ask a very simple question but make it sound a obtuse and complicate and and deep a possible . ugghh . how stylish be this movie . the first 15 minute be spend with a drive through paris with constant cut of different news clip say that derrida be a modern genius and thinker and etc . etc . and father of deconstructionism . do we ever find out why . no . the camera wobble throughout the entire film . thing be out of focus at time . i be so surprised that out of all the hour shot ( derrida even talk about the camera crew follow him for 2 week ) they choose this stuff to put in . unfortunately i know very little more now about derrida than i do when i come in . my friend enjoy the opportunity to actually see the man and what he be like on the screen but felt the same a i do . it be a though there be a camera crew commission to shoot some footage and then it be throw together in a hurry . disappointing . missed opportunity . i really go into this film want to like it and feel like someone fleece me of $ 10 and drop me off a home film that have never be edit . and i be an optimist .
