A series of interviews featuring linguist, philosopher and activist Noam Chomsky done in hand-drawn animation.
Leave your thoughts about Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy?.
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlThis is a film to see and then see again, to soak in and marvel at and -- like its director -- try to keep up with. |
| Slant MagazineSteve MacfarlaneA magnificently quizzical diagram of two ceaselessly inquiring minds in perfect tandem, like a raw X-ray of atomized creativity. |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyI don't know whether the tall man is happy, but I do know that Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy? is intellectually and visually groundbreaking, and most certainly a film. |
| IndiewireEric KohnIs the Man Who Is Tall Happy? bears the stamp of Gondry quirk but allows it to feel a lot more intimate than anything he's done since "Eternal Sunshine." |
| The PlaylistCharlie SchmidlinTo his credit (and without affectation), Gondry doesn’t cloak the fact that he is often perplexed by his subject. Because of his confusion though, we are able to learn quite a lot. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisNot so much a documentary as a rambling interview, almost all done in animation. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesBill StametsA diverting tutorial with this takeaway: “Let’s be puzzled about what seems obvious.” |
| Time OutKeith UhlichThe point, of course, is to get lost. As the soft-spoken sage himself notes, “The world is a very puzzling place.” What a pleasure it is, the film suggests, to be perpetually befuddled. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibGondry and his frisky hieroglyphs successfully convey Chomsky’s concept of language as the fleeting “meanings we impose on fragmentary experience.” |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzGondry’s illustrations are as fascinating as the chats. Sometimes they look like markers on a napkin. Other times they are reminiscent of something made on the old Lite-Brite toy. They’re always delightful. |
