SLACKER is a loving extended-family photo album, an insider’s ethnographic study of (mainly) 20-somethings trying to make sense of their world at the dawn of the 1990s. With an intriguing style inspired by Ophuls and Bresson, Richard Linklater’s break-out film follows an array of characters talking about ideas from books, movies, TV shows, music, and occasionally from direct observation and analysis. There is no “disorder” or “deficit” in this A.D.D-structured film. Instead, just like flipping through multiple channels on cable TV, we move from one person to another, walking around Austin, picking up bits and pieces of views, thoughts, fears, delusional certainties, and paranoid fantasies from dozens of post-punk, post-college young adults who are avoiding 9-5 jobs, families, commitments, and growing up. SLACKER may very well encapsulate the last time that many young people had the time and desire to contemplate the meaning of life and enjoy a pressure-free existence. Read more on the film by  |
