| Summary: | This documentary shadows the renowned French philosopher, best known for "deconstruction," and captures intimate footage of the man as he lives and works in his daily life. It follows Derrida on his first trip to South Africa, where, after visiting President Mandela's former prison cell, he delivers a lecture on forgiveness to students at the University of the Western Cape. It travels with him from his home in Paris to New York City, where he discusses the role of biographers, and the challenges that are faced when one attempts to bridge the gulf between a historic figure's work and life. |
