I just watched these movies and I have to say that they are awesome.

Both are written and directed by Richard Linklater (Waking Life) and technically would be categorized as 'romantic dramas'. But they are so full of brilliant conversation and original ideas. They remind me a lot of Waking Life (and similarities between the movies are very apparent).

In fact, the scene in Waking Life with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy is an extension of these movies. Those are the exact same character, played by the exact same actors, discussing some of the same topics that they discussed in these movies.

I highly recommend them.

PS. They have nothing to do with lucid dreaming.
