[livejournal.com profile] karohemd, [livejournal.com profile] belaroo and myself met at Arts and had a delicious crepe, then headed into 'A scanner, darkly'.
Well, I'd not read the book, so didn't know quite what to expect. Visually it's a bit like an animated graphic novel with the actors superimposed. Interesting, but not as artistic as Renaissance. There was a lot of well studied character mannerisms of addicts, very well done, and a bit of a looping plot, but as it was Philip K Dick, I was expecting it to be more SF, to be honest.
There was one interesting effect however; the undercover cops have suits that hide their identity and shimmer, switching between millions of people - one scene with two of these suits talking to each other made my brain go into meltdown - suddenly I lost my grasp on who was who and had a moment of panic - I assume that's what a 'bad trip' would be like, so that was interesting... but not something I'd like to repeat, thank you!
Cheers to [livejournal.com profile] karohemd for organising :)
