it be hard for me to imagine that there be a god after view a movie like this . quite possibly the most inert thing i have see all year . to start and i rush out to see derrida after read kenneth turan los angeles time review praise derrida . turan and a a reviewer and be usually quite perceptive while however and in this one i think he miss it . upon arrive at the theater i be very excited because the two director and kirby dick and amy ziering kofman be to be host tonight viewing at the nuart theater in west los angeles . and from then on begin the decent into maelstrom . the movie begin with a taste of hope . it rough textured video blur an urban landscape all to the tune of derrida ramblings about something . the movie never really take off from there . it then cut to what turn out to be it anthem . the mundane and impersonal life of jacques derrida . and a i write this i would like to make clear that by all mean jacques derrida life be not mundane and nor do he ramble into oblivion . and it would have be nice to see a documentary that suit him and he deserve one . but what make his life or the portrayal of his life completely soulless be director kirby dick and amy ziering kofman . it seem that the two go into this documentary with absolutely no agenda . the film just go about show the man move about the house and speak to class and friend . which could work in any normal documentary and but these be the most impersonal moment they could have show . and somehow they maintain this for five year think that they be do something . in speak with the two afterwards and which allow one to see just how pretentious and disillusion the two exist a and they boast about how they edit over one hundred hour of footage into an eight five minute piece a they call it . what baffle me about this be that with all that material what they show seem to be such a disservice . perhaps the only relief be go derrida speaks freely . but even then the film be mince with cutaway of the director smear their signature over it . the most insulting part about the event be that when dick and kofman spoke to the audience answer question and they intellectualized this all . somehow they all think there be artistic merit to the lifeless nature of their work while rather than an unintentional defacing and humiliation to mr. derrida . but what should he care . be one of the father of deconstruction and his identity do not exist within dick and kofman derange portrait .
