I fell in love with this movie straight from the start. It was apparent that the directors to this movie were aware of the huge challenge they have undertaken, namely to communicate a theory that refuses to be harnessed and conveyed through factual discourse. This movie is certainly not for the person that expects to be hand fed facts like Derrida's take on Heidegger, Hegel or Husserl. Neither will this movie provide you with a mapping or explanation of deconstruction. This movie is Derrida and deconstruction right in front you. The matter of the fact is that for the untrained eye, it remains hidden. It has been said that deconstruction can only be grasped by those who already can claim ownership of it. The deconstruction is in the silence, in the music, in the emptiness, in the mundane, it is all over this movie, In every comment, in Derrida's answers, in Derrida's refusal to even take on questions asked in the interview. This movie is simply put, for people who already know Derrida and deconstruction, to simply be reminded of what they already know. Perhaps if you are a Derrida reader and still haven't been able to put your finger on deconstruction, this movie could help you over the threshold. There have been many reviews here criticising this movie for not being informational enough. Any movie that would even attempt to communicate Derrida and deconstruction would fall on its knees and fail in its delivery as well as refute the subject matter at hand. Lets all remember that Derrida himself never ever explained what deconstruction is, all he could do is to describe what deconstruction is NOT! A quick read through the very short "A Letter To My Japanese Friend", written by Derrida to explain deconstruction, or perhaps on the impossibility of explaining deconstruction, could be useful before you view this brilliant movie. Its all there, right in front off your eyes, just stop trying to find it and you will see it.
