Waking Life (2001)

Plot: An extraordinary and visually spectacular cinematic journey that explores the boundary between waking reality and the dream world. Shifting through a series of vivid, shifting dreamscapes, a nameless young man encounters an eclectic group of eccentric characters, philosophers, and visionaries who engage him in mind-bending discussions about the cosmos, free will, existentialism, and the nature of consciousness. Captured in an innovative, surreal rotoscoped animation style, it challenges everything you think you know about reality.
