Ghibliotheque - A Podcast About Animation and Studio Ghibli
Waking Life | The Richard Linklectures #1
•
Michael and Jake return with a new miniseries diving into three animated films from independent cinema icon Richard Linklater (Boyhood, Before Sunrise, Dazed and Confused), starting with his 2001 rotoscoped feature Waking Life: a heady exploration of dreaming, philosophy, existentialism, the frontiers of theoretical science and everything in between.
Watch Richard Linklater talk Waking Life on Tech TV circa 2001 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHNjigGtUZI
