| Anyone ever seen this movie? It's about a guy walking around from dream to dream, only waking up to find out he's still dreaming. Lots of monologes and rants about dreaming, very surreal. I guess the part that I liked most about it was the animation. It was shot on normal film, and then animators animated right over the film to give a very real-like look to the animation. At some parts it gets very psychadelic. The movie is done by Richard Linklater (Slacker, Dazed and Confused)

| Excellent film, well worth seeing. Cool soundtrack too. Given that we spend so much time dreaming when we're asleep, you'd imagine that dreams would be a bigger theme for movies, books, etc. This film is really thought-provoking... I've started actually remembering my dreams since I saw it, which I never used to do. Really cool. The animation is also the best I've ever seen. Go see it.

| I saw Waking Life in the theatre awhile ago. It is a very strange movie with excellent animation. It was hard to concentrate because there is so much talking and thought about living and dreaming. I was sober the first time I saw it, so I will have to rent it and this time get baked beforehand. It will probably take on a new meaning. ![]() |

| If you want to see a good movie about dreaming, try to find a movie called "The City of Lost Children" It is in French with subtitles, but visually it is the biggest mindf*ck of a movie I have ever seen.....

| Oh yeah, I think that was made by Jeunet & Caro - the same people who made "Delicatessen" - also one of my favourite movies. Marc Jeunet also made the excellent, but very different, "Amelie"... |

| Yeah that movie is very thought provoking. It is really cool, so many great characters. I love the guy who covers himself in gasoline. I think its made by the same people who did Dazed and Confused. Great movie, go rent it you'll be happy you did!!!
