Is The Tall Man Happy?

documentary(?)

An oddball project. A French animator secures interviews with Noam Chomsky and presents them overlaid with his childish doodles supposedly illustrating the points NC is making.

First of all NC is very articulate and makes his points clearly and patiently so it's unclear why this guy felt the anime was either necessary or beneficial. Secondly his own English is very poor and his understanding of NC's ideas is also very poor so the question arises...why didn't he get someone else to conduct the interviews?

Youtube has hundreds of interviews/talks by Chomsky...anyone can watch/listen and learn his ideas. What exactly did this guy think he was bringing to the table?

Ill conceived and executed.
