Is the Man who is Tall Happy?

From Michel Gondry, the innovative director ofEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep, comes this animated documentary on the life of controversial professor, philosopher, linguist, anti-war activist and political firebrand Noam Chomsky. 

Through complex, lively conversations with Chomsky and animated illustrations by Gondry himself, the film reveals the life and work of the father of modern linguistics, while also exploring his theories on the emergence of language. 

The result is not only a vital portrait of one of the foremost thinkers of modern times, but also a beautifully animated work of art.
