About this Event
29th August: Waking Life - 2001 - Richard Linklater
One more animated film - but this one is slightly different. Its other link to Paprika is the theme of dreams!
Waking Life explores a wide range of philosophical issues, including the nature of reality, dreams and lucid dreams, consciousness, the meaning of life, free will, and existentialism, following a young man who wanders through a succession of dreamlike realities wherein he encounters a series of people who engage in insightful philosophical discussions.
The entire film was digitally rotoscoped. It contains several parallels to Linklater's 1991 film Slacker. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy reprise their characters from the 1995 Before Sunrise in one scene.
It premiered at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival, and was released on October 19, 2001, where it received critical acclaim.
As always, ticket holders are privy to some insane drink deals and popcorn!
