A Scanner Darkly

A very original movie, not suprised it wasn't a big hit. It uses an advanced form of rotoscopins which allowed a creative range of subtle effects in shading, coloration and changes to the actors. This film gets into one of my favorite themes of late...what is real and what is unreal, and is there really a difference. It also addresses the idea of identity. The primary character is an agent of the government whose job is to spy on his undercover self and the drugged out underground of L.A.

Such a strange movie, hard to describe, but well worth a watch.
