Derrida -- Jewish, Algerian-born -- was kicked out of school at age 10 as part of an anti-Semitic purge. As the father of Deconstruction, a school of thought that confronts the basic assumptions underlying our thinking, he has perfected the role of outsider and iconoclast. In this wry, often funny slice of his life, Derrida helps deconstruct his own image: at one moment he ’s the playful, sartorially elegant Paris professor, at another the wily subject who refuses to be pinned down -- and then he’s the rigorous thinker who counters with a brilliant, in-depth response to a question he initially disdained.

Also featuring a mesmerizing score by Oscar-winning composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, 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.

Film Forum's presentation of this film made possible with support from the Joan S. Constantiner Fund for Jewish and Holocaust Film. Check the FILM FORUM site for additional information.
