Waking Life*   
(US 2001)   
Fox Searchlight/Thousand Worlds. 101m.

A young man wanders aimlessly whilst various people spout philosophies about the dream-like state that he is in.
One of its director's most experimental and indulgent of films, a plotless all-animated slacker drama (via Rotoscope), visually dizzying with occasional welcome cameos that are all too brief - but that's probably the point. As dreams go this one is also slightly boring.
