Linklater’s adaptation of A Scanner Darkly works so well because, back in 2006, it adhered so closely to the source. Twenty years later, the real world has begun to look uncannily like a dystopia imagined by Philip K. Dick.

There’s all of these PKD blockbusters: Minority Report, AI, Total Recall, Blade Runner, Imposter… Most of them are alright, but A Scanner Darkly remains one of my favorite PKD adaptations.
