A Scanner Darkly 2006
i have recently re read ubik and the three stigmata of palmer eldritch this year, and wanted to revisit this. this may be the most faithful adaptation of pkd ive seen.
with enough pkd exposure you can get a feel for the shape of his stories, common themes of surveillance stare, mind altering drugs as a form of escapism from bureaucratic existence. a juke, an unjuke, and then a rejuke at the end. really is a work of art.
the cast is necessarily stacked for this, many of them at the peak or their game.
the cel shaded/rotoscoped animation blends so perfectly with the pkd style.

so many good lines in this. continuing my quest of watching movies where its just walking and talking.
the pacing of this film is incredible. no warning you have jumped forward two or six months in the future. you just pick it up as you go along.

“Arizona Matchbook Company.” Arizona. Arizona backwards is still Arizona. It’s a palomino! Maybe I was crazy, or maybe I was finally sane.
