Waking Life (2001)

Waking Life is a film that I would describe as being a series of extremely interesting riddles for existentialists. While the main character seems to be simultaneously waking from and falling into a pattern of unconventional dreams, the film brings forth various metaphysical questions. Ranging from liminal experiences, human laziness, and the idea of time, there are many topics that are touched upon that you wouldn't usually hear in a conversation anywhere else. All of this adds to the overall dream like quality of the film, making the conversations seem all the more intriguing. Although one can't walk away without questioning their own perception of the world after considering the ideas purveyed in this film.
