Theatrical report

Wanking life.

To the average Aussie, Waking life is a wanky, pretentious bunch of arty farty wankers wanking off over big words and bullshit. They can't even keep the camera still like on The Simpsons. To the intelligentsia, Waking life is a bunch of deep thinkers presenting their philosophies and understandings of life and of dreaming via the medium of a film animated from real life in an attempt to subsume conscious thought into a subconscious world.

You'll like it or you'll love it if you are one of the following:

1. a filmmaker fascinated by the possibilities of animation;
2. a student of philosophy;
3. a university educated arts student or graduate;
4. a self-educated thinker to whom ideas are air and water.

There are three funny bits.
