40. A scanner darkly, 2006, Richard Linklater


This movie has a unique look, entirely done with rotoscoping. Apart from looking great, it works really well with the reality distortion effects the characters experience during the movie. The story is about a group of friends involved with substance D, a new drug causing brain damage with prolonged use. One of them is working as an undercover agent who falls victim to the drug himself.
The best part of the movie are the paranoid conversations between the characters. The twist at the end keeps it interesting when the conversations run dry and you'll want to see it again with the newly learned information.
Good story, great artwork, great performances. Must see if you like movies with interesting and often very funny conversations.
