    A Scanner Darkly

    ★★★★

    Brilliantly realized film with rotoscope animation that adds to a feeling of dissociation, which is perfect for a film which i assume is an exploration about the relation of drugs and mental health and those twos relations to politics. This also might be my favorite Keanu Reevs performance too. His monotone, distant but cool as ice voice is perfect for a character who is drug addicted disconnected from the world.

    An astoundingly ahead of its time film in both its exploration of mental health and the persecution of woman at the hands of the Patriarchy. Also pretty nifty too with its combination of fictitious storytelling and documentary storytelling. Unfortunately it's dragged down a bit by being too long. The criterion collection edition is 105 minutes long which is indeed the rerelease runtime but it does mean some scenes stretch on way too long or don't feel they need to be…

    Very relevant series decades later. Its insane how how much this miniseries called the inevitable failure of the democratic party in a neo liberal world. Lots to say but too much for a letterboxd review. Can't reccomed it enough. Its on the criterion channel and it's worth experiencing
