DERRIDA

One of the most influential and iconoclastic figures of the 20th century, French philosopher and father of deconstruction Jacques Derrida has singlehandedly altered the way we look at history, language, art and film. In the spirit of Derrida s work, acclaimed filmmakers Kirby Dick (Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist) and Amy Ziering Kofman have created an innovative and entertaining portrait by questioning the very concept of biography itself. Featuring a mesmerizing score by Oscarwinning composer Ryuichi Sakamoto (The Last Emperor), DERRIDA is a playful and provocative glimpse at a visionary thinker as he ruminates on everything from Seinfeld to the sex lives of ancient philosophers. Jacques Derrida died at the age of 74 on Friday October 8, 2004
