About this product

Product Information

Texan filmmaker Richard Linklater's debut independent feature takes an original approach to traditional narrative, creating an entirely new form of cinema in the process. Shot at a leisurely pace with a style similar to Robert Bresson, SLACKER follows the unmotivated inhabitants of Austin, Texas, over the course of one day, as they waste their time talking about politics, philosophy, and popular culture. Beginning with a cab ride in which the fare (Linklater himself) suggests to the driver a theory about alternate universes (which also happens to mirror what transpires on screen), the film abruptly shifts to another character and situation after an elderly woman is hit by a car. Soon after, another character is introduced, and the camera follows her. This formula sticks for the whole film; by the end, dozens of characters have been introduced and, just as quickly, been left behind. Linklater spent years taking notes in order to infuse original dialogue into every situation, which results in a sometimes pathetic, sometimes poignant, always amusing trip into a lackadaisical college town. Luckily, for fans of new and inventive approaches to filmmaking, Linklater himself wasn't a "slacker," ensuring the film's place in indie film history.

    Great seller communication on an issue with this boxset. It was not in the described condition. I texted the seller with pictures. We found a compromise with a partial refund. I respect the honesty of this seller and would buy from here again. It was fast delivery and packaged really well. The wrong version of this item was sent. I am happy with the outcome and rate the seller as A+++. Buy with confidence that if there is an issue this seller will work with you in a fair way. Thank you.

    Item arrived as described and was shipped in a timely manner. The post office took too long getting it to me. The item was very well packaged and the gift wrap was a very nice touch.
