Episode 11 - Waking Life (2011) w/ Brian Skutle (Sonic Cinema)
Film For Thought
04/09/21 • 38 min
It took eleven episodes, but Brian Skutle of the Sonic Cinema managed to suggest a film that I wasn't so keen on myself, Richard Linklater's Waking Life (2001). However, this led to a fascinating conversation about narrative structure, the animation, themes of the film and so much more.
