An unlikely pairing of form and style, Michel Gondry’s animated documentary successfully gives Noam Chomsky’s philosophical musings an expressive canvas with a delightfully anarchic animation style. The film’s real topic is the elusive nature of all thought processes, and it effectively shares the dual speakers’ collective journey without revealing any tangible destination. The movie ends, but the discussion resonates indefinitely.
