[Movie] Richard Linklater’s New Wave

This has none of the things I associate with late 1970s - early 1980s New Wave.

 

When I saw the thread title, I was excited. When I watched the trailer, I was no longer excited

 

I know Linklater, met him when we were doing Digital Anvil and he bought a building to do a small studio on Congress it is now the Speakeasy bar.

Not a friend, but he was a super nice guy and really interesting to talk with.

This is his kind of artsy film.

Given the director, I thought for sure it was going to be about the Houston new wave scene in the 80's. Maybe a doc about the Westheimer strip?

 

Got a 10-minute standing ovation at Cannes.

 

What kind of psychopath stands up and claps for 10 minuets after a movie's over?

Other than the French

 

Pretentious artists jerking each other off?

600 seconds of clapping. JFC
