A Scanner Darkly
The rotoscoping technique used to produce this film gives it a very distinctive appearance. Actors are distinctly recognisable through the animation. There is more detail than one is used to in animation but less definition. It is used to give a drugged vision of life, adding unreal objects and distorting what is really there.
Actually I'm not quite sure what to think of the film itself. Good, bad, somewhere in the middle? Well, certainly not bad. I have read the book but can't remember the details. Although the animation was interesting it at times it distracted me from the story, I was watching the picture not the film. It may be I have to see this film again before I can really make my decision.
