Description de l'ouvrage:
The first edited collection of critical essays on American filmmaker Richard Linklater
Analyses both Linklater’s celebrated and understudied work in dialogue with ongoing debates in film studies
Considers the impact of Linklater’s œuvre in industrial and cultural contexts, with a focus on gender, identity politics, American politics, and animal rights
Connects Linklater to relevant American political and cultural events and institutions
Richard Linklater is a popular American filmmaker who is widely celebrated for the breadth of his œuvre. Over the past three decades, Linklater has directed more than twenty features, ranging from non-linear independent films to Hollywood genre entertainment. Despite the popularity of Linklater’s rich and varied body of work—and perhaps also because of this generic diversity—he remains under-represented in critical and scholarly fora.

Revue de Presse:
Linklater has quietly developed into one of his generation’s most celebrated directors, and this excellent collection helps to explain why. Fittingly conceptually heterogeneous, its chapters offer innumerable fresh dialogues with key philosophical, aesthetic, and sociopolitical dimensions of the filmmaker's most fêted and lesser-known work. A rich and rewarding text.
– James MacDowell, University of Warwick

In this collection of essays, Wilkins and Vermeuelen showcase recent debates about, and interpretations of, the films of Richard Linklater, an Austin, Texas, auteur whose work has long walked a fine line between art cinema and Hollywood-friendly genre offerings. The best essays look at major stylistic issues across multiple films: for example Bruce Isaacs explores time in Linklater’s films, and Christopher Holliday looks at Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly and their innovative mixture of Linklater’s long take and smooth style meeting the discordant and sometimes syncopated rhythms of the Rotoshop animation process. Though Linklater still seems young and is identified with youth films, the book makes a case for a mature and deeply considered career. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty.– K. M. Flanagan, CHOICE connect

Rather than trying to fit Linklater’s filmmaking and its shifts between scales of production and variances in narrative, style and theme into a singular auteurist vision, this collection skillfully promotes the value of approaching artistic achievement from different perspectives. What emerges is a critically rich exploration of resemblance and relationality.
