Richard Linklater (Slacker) takes a hilarious and subtly profound look at the last day of school--and one wild night--in the lives of a group of high school students in 1976. The film offers far more than a mere return to bongs and bell bottoms, polyester and pukka shells, macrame and mood rings. Linklater paints highly empathic portraits of youths learning to enjoy the ride and accept the road ahead. "The most slyly funny and dead-on portrait of American teenage life ever made" (Entertainment Weekly). Richard Linklater---USA---1993---103 mins.

The party's going all night long with two classics of wild adolescence packed with casts of future stars. In Dazed and Confused (Richard Linklater, 1993, 103 mins.), Richard Linklater (Slacker) takes a hilarious and subtly profound look at the last day of school--and one wild night--in the lives of a group of high school students in 1976. Stars Jason London, Ben Affleck, Matthew McConaughey, Joey Lauren Adams, Milla Jovovich, Parker Posey, Adam Goldberg and more. One of the best teen comedies of the 1980's, the trul y funny Fast Times at Ridgemont High (Amy Heckerling, 1982, 92 mins.) captures the comic awkwardness of a generation caught in between the anything-goes spirit of the 1970s and the nothing-matters anxiety of the 1980s. Cameron Crowe adapted his semi-autobiographical novel for the screen. With Jennifer Jason Leigh, Phoebe Cates, Judge Reinhold, Ray Walston, Anthony Edwards, Eric Stoltz and Sean Penn in his star-making role as the blissfully Richard Linklater/Amy Heckerling---USA---1993/1982---195 mins.

FAST FOOD NATION

Richard Linklater takes the Thank You for Smoking approach to a Super Size Me subject in this satirical adaptation of Eric Schlosser's food industry expose. Greg Kinnear plays a marketing guy for a popular fast food chain who tries to make "corporate" act on his startling findings--the burgers are filled with crap. This plot intertwines with stories about the illegal immigrants working in their meat packing plant and a disenfranchised burger-flipping girl gone eco-activist. The Grade A ensemble cast includes Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke, Kris Kristofferson, Esai Morales, Wilmer Valderrama, Bruce Willis, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Luis Guzman, and Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine). "As blunt as Fast Food Nation is, it's also a surprising piece of social criticism to emerge (like Borat) f rom the status quo folks at Fox" (J. Hoberman, Village Voice). Richard Linklater---Great Britain/USA---2006---113 mins.

Manic actor/comedian Jack Black (Shallow Hal) is hilarious as a wannabe rock star-turned-substitute teacher who transforms a class of introverted 5th graders into a rock band. Directed by Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, Slackers) and scripted by Mike White (The Good Girl, Chuck and Buck), this is high-energy, solid entertainment with both kid and adult appeal. "...proves you can make a family film that's alive and well-acted and smart and perceptive and funny -- and that rocks." (Roger Ebert, Chicago Richard Linklater---USA---2003---108 mins.

A true sleeper. Richard Linklater's first feature film is a wickedly funny social satire on a new American sub-culture that's inventive, quite bizarre and refreshingly offbeat. Filmed entirely in Austin, Texas, with a cast of hundreds of local residents. The film is a human chain letter: you meet one person and through that person you meet another person, and another, and so on. The local characters voice their opinions on a variety of subjects, including Madonna's pap smear, the sniper Charles Whitman, and the JFK Richard Linklater---USA---1991---101 mins.

Released the same year as his acclaimed animation experiment, Waking Life, Richard Linklater's Tape is an equally compelling, if formally more modest, work. Taking place entirely in one small motel room, the story follows a small-time drug dealer (Ethan Hawke) obsessed with an episode from the past. An old friend (Robert Sean Leonard), now a filmmaker, meets him in his room, where he finds a dark secret from years before brought back to light. Uma Thurman is the young woman at the center of it all in a provocative drama that portrays the extremes of how people deal with the past. Based on a play by Stephen Belber, this feature was part of an Independent Film Channel project in which filmmakers were asked to produce a digital video feature on a budget of $150,000 or less.
Richard Linklater---USA---2001---86 mins.
