Great author, and a great book... and a rare example of astonishing cinematografic version - a momentary classic.
Dicks novels indeed is not a pleasant reading. I dont get back to him in more than 15 years. But I still remember how good some of his novels and short stories are. I remember my feelings when reading it... remember myself being lost and immersed in the pages.

Yes, immersed in the pages. It's an experience. Brave of the filmmakers to take it on, and they did a good job. Still, for me, the book is much more gripping.
I've read his short stories, but not his novels. I've been looking for a new author, nice to find that he was so prolific. Many hours of reading ahead, but I have space them if they are as dark as this one.
exit of that Scanner Darkly movie is accompanied by the 'Black swan' song from Thom Yorke, if I remember it correctly. 100% fit.
