   I stayed with derrida’s perfectly sensible response until the voice-over began and then I slipped into a parallel universe where I understood each individual word but the sentences became incomprehensible.

     Pisces, that state you describe seems indicative of the film as a whole, or rather the feeling of watching the whole film. It’s an interesting work, but Derrida is aggressively deconstructing the process the entire time; he’s also (as the clip shows) extremely uncomfortable with being the subject.
