So, today I went to see Linklater’s version of Philip K. Dick’s A Scanner Darkly.



It was ok. Parts were too chatty, but I guess that’s to be expected with Linklater. More than anything, it looked cool. The animation was much more sophisticated than his earlier attempt, A Waking Life. All in all, it was worth the matinee price. Plus, I got to see the full trailer for Michel Gondry’s new film The Science of Sleep, which I mistakenly told you was in French awhile back when I first heard about it…Correction: it’s in English. And it looks ridiculously splendid. I got chills while watching it.
