however much special pleading may be make for this a an act of deconstruct the documentary process and the fact remain that this be a very badly make film poorly pace and out of focus and the foreground blitz by backlight and the comment of derrida himself reduce to utter vapidity . one come away with absolutely no understanding of derrida philosophy and and no comprehension of his life . the filmmaker follow the guy around for week and and the best they could do look like a high school video project . there no excuse for poor craft ( something forgotten not just by filmmaker but also by tenured professor besotted with critical theory and who crank out bad prose that say nothing ) . a far and far good example of how a philosopher can be treat on film be mcluhan wake and which in 90 minute provide an excellent biographical overview and introduction to the key concept in the writing of marshall mcluhan . i be not a fan of mcluhan any more than i be of derrida and but that doesn not stop me from recognize that mcluhan have receive first class treatment from his documentarians . derrida and the film and on the other hand and be an amateurish waste .
