SLACKER

Richard Linklater Estados Unidos, 1990
Part lo-fi experiment, part philosophical statement of principle (“withdrawing in disgust is not the same as apathy,” reads one title card, a line Michael Stipe borrowed a few years later), and quietly revolutionary as the idea of a popular American independent cinema came to fruition in the early ’90s.

Bursting onto the independent film circuit just after the close of the Cold War and the arrival of the "End of History," Richard Linklater's Slacker perfectly captured the American Left's malaise, disillusionment, and nihilism at the dawn of the '90s.

Here, something a bit more transcendent is attempted [than in Mysterious Object at Noon], because often in films as in real life, sometimes the most revealing things about a person or a place can be found in the most mundane. Linklater's lovingly crafted portrait of a group of barely connected eccentrics in Austin, Texas is about a collective atmosphere, a state of being that is unique to this place and the people in it.
