Abstract

The article discusses A Scanner Darkly, a film adaptation of a novel by Philip K. Dick directed by Richard Linklater. The film stars Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson and Winona Ryder. It was computer animated in the style of Waking Life and uses interpolated rotoscoping. The style also suggests a movie equivalent to a comic book or graphic novel, perhaps as a visual analogy to Dick's science fiction tropes.
