Review

Energetic documentary takes nine contemporary thinkers (Cornel West, Slavoj Žižek, Martha Nussbaum among them) and films them as they walk and talk, trying to reconnect their thoughts to the world in which they live. The results are fun, but, as might be imagined, the insights range from the inspired to the insipid.
