Scored from 258 calibrated IMDb reviewers. Cohort: Films · 2000s (7,847 peers).
Summary
A young man drifts through a series of dreamlike encounters with philosophers, artists, and eccentrics who hold forth on consciousness, free will, existentialism, and the nature of reality. As he wanders from one vivid conversation to the next, he begins to suspect he may be trapped in a lucid dream and struggles to wake up. Richard Linklater's rotoscope-animated film unfolds as a freeform meditation rather than a conventional narrative.
Released in 2001, Waking Life is an animation, drama and fantasy film.
