I’m always hesitant to claim that any movie “changed my life,” but this one actually did. At the time I first saw it, I’d never considered the possibility of telling a story without narrative. It changed the way I thought about all art, and it made me want to be a weirder person.
Chuck Klosterman on Richard Linklater’s Slacker. So if you want to pin the former’s existence as he currently is on anyone, blame Linklater. Also, “it made me want to be a weirder person”? Ugh.
