Richard Linklater in Attendance for Introduction
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. Somewhat like their situationist cultural forebears, they create a life by strolling about, talking and hanging out, and checking out what’s up. And most of them are interesting and some even endearing, especially the ones who do try to make sense of the rampant chaos that reality has come to be.
