Derrida getting dressed for work and refusing to answer interview questions doesn&#8217;t give us great insight into his philosphy and only reflects badly upon filmmakers who only have 80 minutes to tell us about this supposedly documentary-worthy, world-renowned thinker.  Reading excerpts from Derrida&#8217;s books is a good start, but having the excerpts read dryly by a narrator over unrelated images wasn&#8217;t the way to go.  In the interview included on the disc, Derrida doesn&#8217;t seem to know why he&#8217;s there, and his first statement is that he never wanted to be involved.  The music wasn&#8217;t great either.
