Slacker (1990)
Director: Richard Linklater
100 minutes
English; Turkish subtitles
A single day with mostly under-30 over-educated, unemployed, talkative, nonparticipant bohemians, social outcasts and misfits in Austin, Texas… Although shot with a 16mm Arriflex camera and a total budget of $23,000 in 1989, Slacker (1990) soon became one of the cult independent films with its unique perspective on subculture and existence in America in the 90s.
Director of well-received Before trilogy, Richard Linklater enlisted the regulars of the Austin Film Society, which he founded in 1985, to make a film formed through a series of interactions flowing from one scene to another. Characters, including a UFO buff insisting the U.S. has been on the moon since the 1950s and an anarchist befriending a man trying to rob his house, talk freely on various themes such as city life, social classes, exclusion, unemployment, and media.
