Renowned linguist , philosopher and political activist Noam Chomsky is interviewed by Michael Gondry, director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Gondry tries to uncover the sometimes complex ideas of the 84 -year-old philosopher by asking simple theoretical questions, which he then tries to elucidate using hand-drawn animation. The combination of the many topics that Chomsky broaches and Gondry’s childlike drawings works wonderfully. A conversation that is both literally and figuratively animated, this documentary gives a playful glimpse into the mind-set of a great philosopher.
