What does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me?
Based on Philip K Dick's 1977 fictionalized account of actual events, A Scanner Darkly depicts a dream-like, near-future dystopia where drug use colors every aspect of life, and the government is always watching.
Confusing, tragic, yet endlessly intriguing, the film meanders through the lives of Bob Arctor and his friends as they struggle to make sense of their rotoscoped reality, each of them in their own way succumbing to the relentless influence of "Substance D."
Join Jaime, Dan, and special guest Jackie to discuss one of PKD's most faithful film adaptations.
