A Scanner Darkly

2006, Richard Linklater

3.8/5

A Scanner Darkly is a 2006 American adult animated psychological science fiction thriller film written and directed by Richard Linklater; it is based on the 1977 novel of the same name by Philip K. Dick. The film tells the story of identity and deception in a near-future dystopia constantly under intrusive high-tech police surveillance in the midst of a drug addiction epidemic.

The film was shot digitally and then animated using interpolated rotoscope, an animation technique in which animators trace over the original footage frame by frame, for use in live-action and animated films, giving the finished result a distinctive animated look. Principal photography began on May 17, 2004, and lasted six weeks.

If you like A Scanner Darkly, you might also like 2006 Films, 2000s English-language Films, 2000s American Animated Films, and Films Set In The Future.
