Description
David T. Johnson's analysis of Richard Linklater's filmmaking choices reveals a director who consistently explores themes of time in his work.
From the inventive independent narrative Slacker to films like A Scanner Darkly, Fast Food Nation, and Before Sunrise, Linklater has maintained a sense of integrity while working within diverse budgets and genres. Johnson identifies a critical commonality among this variation: Linklater's preoccupation with the concept of time in many of his films.
The book concludes with an interview with Linklater discussing his career, providing valuable insight into the director's approach to filmmaking and his ongoing critique of modern American culture.
