Waking Life (USA, 2001, Richard Linklater, dir­ector) is a ground­breaking film. Using a form of roto­scoping to animate over digital video footage, every frame of this film is beau­tiful, cre­ating the per­fect set­ting, a dream world, where the main char­acter never knows if he is asleep or awake. Lots of philo­soph­ical mus­ings, which occa­sion­ally grate, making it dif­fi­cult to con­cen­trate on both the visuals and the talk at the same time, but overall a film that deserves sev­eral view­ings. 9/10
