Transcending the boundaries of technology and imagination, 'Waking Life' is a revolutionary breakthrough in film animation. It tells the story of a man who shuffles through a dream meeting various people and discussing the meanings and purposes of the universe.
Form and content fit perfectly: even if the highbrow babbling gets a bit much, the hypnotic animation means that there is always something to watch, like characters suddenly dissolving into smoke or spectacles expanding.
A brilliant film that provokes thought, idea, and conversations within the audience through its surreal animation and incredibly profound conversations.
An instant cult classic, one that's tailor-made for multiple viewings and bound to be popular among college students.

If there was ever a film that made ontological exploration fun, this is it.
