Description

In this visual and cerebral feast, visionary director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) applies his unique imagination to the mind-expanding ideas of renowned linguist and activist Noam Chomsky with old-school hand-drawn animation. Centered around a captivating conversation between the two, Chomsky’s stimulating line of thought grooves in sync with a free-flowing series of drawings in a perfect marriage between left-brain and right-brain thinking. A potent mix of DIY filmmaking, abstract expressionism and philosophy, get ready to shift your perspective and become immersed in an altered state of documentary.
