A Scanner Darkly (2006)

A Scanner Darkly (2006) – R. Linklater

Not having read the novel, I was prepared for something more sci-fi (like Blade Runner) than this psycho-sociological inquiry into drugs, societal control, and self-consciousness (in the broadest sense). The wacked out animation (part live model, part imagination) adds an ironic counterpoint to the theme of drug problems. Multi-layered, with a twist, edgy, paranoid, and worth-seeing.
