Slacker (1991)

Director: Richard Linklater
Writer:    Richard Linklater
Cast:      Richard Linklater, Rudy Basquez, Jean Caffeine

Presents a day in the life in Austin, Texas among its social outcasts and misfits, predominantly the twenty-something set, using a series of linear vignettes. It just follows a character for some time and then move onto another and so on. The little stories are not resolved and just moves on to another one.

It is an experimental film and serve as a prelude to Linklater's later films in terms of the sort of discussions the characters engage on. It is a good watch but nothing more.

Rating: 3/5
