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:
- a filmmaker fascinated by the possibilities of animation;
- a student of philosophy;
- a university educated arts student or graduate;
- a self-educated thinker to whom ideas are air and water.
There are three funny bits.
