Derrida

The Work of a French Philosopher

One of the most influential and iconoclastic figures of the 20th century, French philosopher and father of "deconstruction" Jacques Derrida has single-handedly altered the way we look at history, language, art and film. DERRIDA is an innovative and entertaining portrait by questioning the very concept of biography itself.

Featuring a mesmerizing score by Oscar-winning 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 ancient philosophers.

Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize - Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival. Winner of the Golden Gate Award for Film & Video - Biography at the San Francisco International Film Festival.
