Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Dense and thoughtful and brimming with ideas that are too complex to be rapidly absorbed.

fresh:
The picture's charm lies in the continuing by-play between the filmmakers and their subject, with each side doing its best to deconstruct the other.

fresh:
I'm not sure you'll leave the movie understanding every nuance of 'deconstruction,' but you'll have a real sense of a sophisticated thinker.

Exhibits a devotion to its subject that just might drive you to his books and make you wish for tea with the man who wrote them.

Derrida, with his mane of white hair, piercing gaze and pipe clenched between his teeth, may be the most watchable thinker since Rodin's.
