A Scanner Darkly

Description

By Richard Linklater. Starring Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson. In a near future ravaged by drugs, a special agent infiltrates a drug addict community to fight against the terrible "substance M"... Adapted from a novel by Philip K. Dick, this science fiction film blending animation and live-action stands out for its bold form. "The direction matches this world of paranoid junkies. Multiplying strange, absolutely non-anatomical shots, the camera makes the viewer uncomfortable, immersing them in what could be imagined as the effects of substance M. The story's progression mimics the perception of its main character, a man quite lost in the labyrinths of the authority he serves, the addiction that undermines him, and the human relationships he believes he maintains" (Vincent Avenel, www.critikat.com, 2006). USA · 2006 · 100' · v. o. s-t fr. - format: 35mm@CAP 1 – Capitole, Salle Freddy Buache (CAP 1) - indicative price: 10.-
