Review of A Scanner Darkly (2006) by Rich B — 07 Jun 2010
This film is four years old and I only just discovered it and I have to say that I have seen a lot of films but this was one that I absolutely thought was stunning.
Featuring an all-star cast and an animation style that is reminscent of games like JSRF, Auto Modellista and GTA on the DS, this tells a story of an America that has lost the war on drugs and even the police are hooked.
Sometimes the animation looks real and other times not but I found it slickly presented and well directed and I cannot understand why this film has not got more fans.
So do yourself a favour, find it, watch it and enjoy it. It really is one of the most original films I have ever seen an a harrowing tale of what life is like when you are addicted.
