    Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy? An Animated Conversation with Noam Chomsky (2013)

    This is a beautiful documentary with hand-drawn animations for the most part. The film gives the linguistics theories of Noam Chomsky a proper medium of expression to make them understandable even for people who had not any previous contact with the field.
    This could be the perfect educational material for the introduction of linguistics to people of almost any age above 10!Read More »

    Quote:
    Colin has a very pleasant life: he is rich, he loves the food his cook makes (Nicolas), he loves his pianocktail (contraction of piano and cocktail, a word invented by Vian) and his friend Chick.

    This triptych of tales set in the titular city of Tokyo suggests an Eastern version of NEW YORK STORIES, but there is a significant difference: in this case, none of the three writer-directors (two French and one Korean) are natives; consequently, their short films emerge less as love letters to the city than as skewed points of view from outsiders looking in on what what they consider to be a strange, exotic land, bordering on a freak show. With their surreal touches, fanciful symbolism, and at least one outright refernce to Japanese kaiju cinema, TOKYO! emerges as a boderline genre effort – not quite a fantasy film but definitely a curious piece of cinefantatique. Unfortunately, the weirdness is not always entertaining – in some cases it is merely boring – but there is enough going on to make this interesting for fans of art house cinema.Read More »
