A Scanner Darkly
2006, 1h 40min -
In a not-too-distant future where America has lost its “war” on drugs, Fred (Keanu Reeves), an undercover cop obsessed with taking down a notorious drug dealer, is one of many people hooked on the popular drug Substance D, which causes its users to develop split personalities. Filmed in live-action and then animated using the same groundbreaking process he employed in WAKING LIFE, Richard Linklater’s innovative adaptation of the novel by legendary sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick is a journey into the absurd, a place where identities and loyalties are impossible to decode, and where no one can be trusted—not even oneself.
