![]() Some characters register so immediately and viscerally that when a handful turn up in different guises we think we recognize them (though after two viewings, like the hero, I'm still not sure a certain girl is who she says she is). And Nicky Katt (a Linklater veteran, now on TV's Boston Public) shows up as part of a quartet of self-described social-cultural theorists who are really just intellectual trash-talkers. Steve Soderbergh tells a droll anecdote about Billy Wilder and Louis Malle. Movie lovers may recognize a few characters by sight or sound: Before Sunrise fans get to see Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy talking in bed in the previous film, they talked everywhere except in bed. Aside from a smattering of nihilists and feckless anarchists, they're looking for a way up. ![]() Bonavena may not have been in Ali’s class in terms of skill, but he remained a dangerous fighter, powerful and tough. It had been a grueling, though largely one-sided battle, and in retrospect all the criticism of Muhammad Ali’s performance was vastly unfair. Keyshawn Davis stops Anthony Yigit in a one-sided romp. A dazed Bonavena tries in vain to stay upright. If one word could sum up their warring pursuits, it is "transcendence."

The movie has a loopy structure that lets you experience the dream-traveler's feelings of terror and euphoria while remaining at one remove and seeing how the contradictory views of scientists, artists, academic philosophers and college-fringe types converge at the highest level. And a lucid dream is just what Linklater's film is. "Lucid dreaming" is what our hero and his new friends call the state where you can be in a dream, realize that you're in one, and use that consciousness to interact with dream people and dream events in a way that adds to your bank of actual experiences. The whole movie interweaves the artificial and the hand-made: if the overhead shots of its dream city quiver with a giddiness different from what you'd find in a typical helicopter shot, it's because Linklater filmed them from a hot-air balloon. Even that eye-popping protean quality is rooted in "live" footage, since Linklater shot it with lightweight, handheld digital cameras. The vibrant backgrounds ignite quizzical details - what is a figurine of Nipper the RCA dog doing next to the gear-head? - or shift color and form with the fluidity and freedom of a 3-D Etch-a-Sketch.
