On paper, Chomsky and Gondry seem like an eternal mismatch, but these two very smart people share an odd but genuine chemistry ...

Probably of interest only to those viewers who, like Gondry himself apparently, already have an obsession with Chomsky.

What emerges from the chats and the drawings and the animation is an often-fascinating glimpse at both genius and the creative process (itself a kind of genius, after all). If it sounds boring, it isn't. If it sounds weird, it is - but weird in a good way.
Tthe onscreen result is a striking inquiry into how we comprehend the world, neatly divided between a man of words and a man of images

An almost entirely hand-drawn, animated film that was clearly a labor of love for the director and has enough charm to reach a wider audience than his other recent docs.

Weaves between clear representations of what's discussed and beautiful abstract expressionism.
Audience Reviews for Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy?: An Animated Conversation with Noam Chomsky
Read more at WordsonFilms.com Is the Man Who is Tall Happy is an ambling film that will probably only appeal to those who are already familiar with it's subject. That said, there is something rather charming about Gondry's animation, and the conversation between him and Chomsky remains thought-provoking throughout.
While it's not entirely a work of genius, Michel Gondry made an interesting film about a very interesting man, and the tactfully animated frames do a fine job of illustrating the principles that Noam describes.
Is the Man Who Is Tall Happy is an unstructured documentary about a man who could ramble about interesting concepts for hours on end. Gondry's animation is a nice compliment, providing a pulsing image that helps tune out all but the challenging conversation on display. Read my full review at movie-op.blogspot.com.
