Slacker
1990
Synopsis
A day in the life of eccentric young people in 1990s Austin, Texas. In a series of loosely connected vignettes, a merry-go-round of amateur philosophers, jilted lovers, inept criminals, aspiring artists, and whacked-out conspiracy theorists searches for a place in society.
Editorial
Before Dazed and Confused and Before Midnight, Richard Linklater debuted with perhaps his most inventive film, defying traditional narratives in favor of a series of offbeat, witty, gently surreal vignettes. Shot for a mere $3,000, this is one of the essential landmarks of American indie film!
