“What does a scanner see? Into the head? Into the heart? Does it see into me? Clearly? Or darkly? I hope it sees clearly because I can’t, any longer. I see only murk, inside and out. ”
Last night I watched a movie that totally blew me away. It’s the newest interpolated rotoscopic feature by Richard LinkLater. This is a though-provoking, visually mesmerizing film about a dystopic society where most people are addicted to a strange substance.
One of the coolest concepts in the movie are the scramble suits, which are like chameleon suits, constantly shifting between composites of thousands human features… truly amazing! The screenplay was based off the cult sci-fi book authored by Philip K. Dick and IMHO the result was truly brilliant.
If you’re a fan of Linklater, sci-fi, distopic visions of society or just innovative film-making, you should definately check this one out!
Also, I’m wondering what everyone thinks of the visual rotoscoping technique, which they used to make it look as tough this movie had been animated. Personally I think it’s very interesting (although I liked it best in Waking Life), but I’ve witnessed quite opposite reactions. Any comments?
