My favorite part is at the end when Alain Badiou describes the Fight Club-esque plot of his The Life of Plato film:

AB: My idea would be that Plato and Socrates are played by the same person. The movie will be the idea that Socrates is a retrospective creation of Plato, so inside the movie Socrates would be something like the old-young Plato. During the movie Plato finally becomes Socrates, something like that. But the script is not finished, so there are many possibilities!

Badiou could have Tommy Wiseau simultaneously direct it in HD and 35mm. But you really should read the whole interview, it’s very good! And uncut.
