Richard Linklater | Producer, Director, Writer
July 28, 2018 - Typically setting each of his movies during one 24-hour period, Linklater's work explored what he dubbed "the youth rebellion continuum," focusing in fine detail on generational rites and mores with rare compassion and understanding while definitively capturing the 20-something culture of his era through a series of nuanced, illuminating ensemble pieces which introduced any number of talented young actors into the Hollywood firmament.

I’m not sure what it is about Richard Linklater but he makes films that make me feel like I’m part of the landscape. He makes very personal films that strike a chord with me. Underrated Director. More on reddit.com

I found this: "An early cut of the film opens with Randal and others stealing the statues that would later be painted. The cops look for the stolen statues and find them in the car when Randal and his friends are busted for being on the football field." https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106677/alternateversions/ More on reddit.com

July 7, 2022I watched Dazed and Confused, and loved it. Anymore similar suggestions?
The director of Dazed and Confused, Richard Linklater, made a great movie called “Everybody Wants Some” which he called the “spiritual sequel” to Dazed and Confused. Plot wise it has nothing to do with the former, but the meandering and immersive style is exact, set in the 80s rather than the 70s. Underrated IMO. More on reddit.com

I'm Rick Linklater here to talk about my new film "Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood" out on Netflix. For a little background, eighteen years ago, I was pulling out memories of 2nd grade to help me construct the narrative of Boyhood's second year. Even though that movie is a celebration of the non-extraordinary, it became clear to me I had lived through and close to something truly extraordinary - the grandest and most enduring engineering feat in human history. I think it took decades for us to fully process that the Apollo program and walking on the moon was the apex because we'd all believed it was just a great beginning. My "who but me?" thinking kicked in when I realized I was probably the only filmmaker that remembered how exciting it was to be a kid at that moment and was geographically that close to NASA. When I remembered an actual kid fantasy I had at the time, I stumbled upon my way to tell the story from both the astronaut perspective and from the bottom-up, public, TV-consumer perspective. Check out the trailer HERE.
Thank you for all the questions. Check out "Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood" on Netflix.
