A Scanner Darkly

'A Scanner Darkly, A''. Richard Linklater, dir. script, from novel by Philip K. Dick.''' USA: Warner Independent Pictures et al. (prod./dist.), 2006. See IMDb for complex production and distribution.

Animation over live-action version of PK novel. As with novel, see for "scrambler suits" that disguise one's identity—and act as a kind of electronic objective correlative for the theme of identity—and the motif of constant police surveillance, including by scanner (see useful Wikipedia entry for novel.)
