Tim Robbins plays Jacob, a 'Nam vet who returns to a mundane life as a civil servant in the States. However, this reality begins to warp and unravel, and Jacob is left questioning what really happened to him overseas.
Current: Waking Life (2001)
Richard Linklater's story of young man trapped in a dream is an existential journey for both the character and the audience. Like sitting through a two hour, rotoscoped philosophy class.
