Review of Slacker (1990) by Brendan T — 06 Jun 2008

One of Richard Linklater's first movies, this was a movie with no plot, but based on conversation. It starts with a guy getting into a taxi and talking about his dreams, and he gets out of the cab and see's a girl get hit by a car, the camera then follows a person in another car who tries to help them, then follows the next person and the whole movie just moves from one person to the next.

Film quality was average, and I thought that Waking Life was much better at doing the conversational thing without having much of a plot, so this one only got a 5.5. Most of the time I just listened to the movie because all the people were doing was walking around or sitting down talking.
