Without a linear plot line, stable images and offering the kind of conversations you normally only find in a University seminar, it's clear that Linklater--despite his commercial success with independent films--is determined not move into the mainstream. By taking Wiley Wiggins away from his Dazed and Confused life into a dream which has no structure, and flitting from one philosophical question to another, Linklater presents a filmic discussion into the nature of physical awareness, consciousness and unconsciousness that most surrealist artists would be proud of. However, Linklater goes one step further and removes all notions of the real world by filming the actors then transferring them into animation, employing 31 artists to input their vision onto the film. The result is a startlingly honest portrayal of the confusion we all face about the difference between life and death, dreaming and awareness, and the unknown as a whole. All the characters Wiggins meets seem to have their own thesis on the unknown, just as in life we are all aware or feel differently about our own self. In addition there are discussions regarding film as a dream-like form, with theorists aligning the sensation of watching a film to that of dreaming, taking your own consciousness into the lives of others. This is what makes Waking Life such a brave and well-structured film. By breaking down the barriers of narrative and reality, Linklater has probably made one of the most realistic films in recent history. On the DVD: Waking Life transfers well onto to DVD but disappointingly has no extra features. With just a language selection, scene selection and play all section the only real added advantage of the DVD format is the ability to play back the dream sequences to allow for greater understanding, something impossible to do in the "waking life". --Nikki Disney ## Product Details - **Genre:** Anime & Manga - **Language:** English - **Color:** Color - **Number Of Discs:** 1 - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 05039036011679 ## Images ![Waking Life [DVD] - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/418AX040G6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A work of art. *by L***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 February 2017* One of my all time favourite films. I saw it many years ago before I began lucid dreaming and is unlike any of the many levels/ degrees of lucidity in dreams I have experienced but I find it so fascinating still). I had to re-download it to watch on the tail end of an acid trip (a good contender for that time if your head-space is clear enough) then decided I had to finally buy it and own a proper copy.The last couple of times I've put it on after 10 minutes or so (forgetting how brilliant it is) I have been tempted to say, I've seen this several times now and don't feel like it, and turn it off for something else. I don't. I become engrossed in the ideas put forward and the stringed music and wildly expressive animation style add to its beauty. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Language sometimes over-complicated and pretentious. *by K***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 December 2014* One of the weirdest films I've seen in my life. Parts I can connect with were really good.But... sometimes I felt like whoever made this was trying the find the most complicated philosophical mumbo jumbo and it seemed quite pretentious. I feel it could reach out to a larger audience if the language was more simple.I'm a veterinary student, and it was a bit like if I made a programme, I wouldn't use all the medical mumbo jumbo as most people wouldn't know what that meant. E.g. If I said someone's dog had pruritus, most people wouldn't know what that means, so I would say the dog is itchy and seems to be scratching a lot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Different and Good *by T***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2013* I like this film, its different...dreamy and thoughtful. Even if I didn't like it (but I really do) I wouldn't criticise it in case readers thought I was shallow or that I don't understand philosphical movies, whereas of course I do. Maybe other reviewers are the same as me in that respect and thats how the film has so many 5 star reviews but it is more likely becuse it is so unique, well made, different, clever and thoughtful :-) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/64763123-waking-life-dvd](https://www.desertcart.in/products/64763123-waking-life-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
