Before Sunrise (1995)
Already on his second film later Dazed and Confused Linklater writes a fundamental piece of cinematography of the decade with this film steeped in romance and an unrepeatable atmosphere. Set in a beautiful and perfect Vienna for this platonic and profound love story. Ethan Hawke And Julie Delpy they are the two unforgettable protagonists of Before sunrise, a film that makes a generation fall in love. The two sequels filmed ten and twenty years apart tell the evolution of the couple’s relationship with equal skill. The first won the Silver Bear in Berlin for best director, the subsequent ones won an Oscar nomination for screenplay. A trilogy of the heart and the spirit. Unique. Available on Rakuten TV, Google Play, Apple iTunes.
School of Rock (2003)
Together with a wild and extraordinary protagonist Jack BlackLinklater achieves his greatest commercial success thanks to a comedy full of great notes and good feelings. School of Rock it contains first of all so much great music and the unconditional love for it. Subsequently he works on a beautifully organized story and on the alchemy between professor and very young students. Also in the cast Joan Cusack And Mike White, author of the starting idea. Scratching film and capable of making you wholeheartedly well, as well as making you laugh out loud. To be seen every time with an enormous sense of joy, ready for absolute entertainment. Black practically irrepressible. Available on SkyRakuten TV, Google Play, Apple Itunes, Paramount+, NOW.
Bernie (2011)
One of Linklater’s most scathing and cynical comedies, a slice of everyday madness which still features a remarkable Jack Black as the protagonist. Together with him, however, he shines as always with a unique and shining light Shirley MacLaineWhile Matthew McConaughey he has a lot of fun appearing in support and doing what he does best, which is the Texan braggart. Bernie it’s a caustic film, with great moments of cinema given to us by this trio of actors in great form. A hilarious and unexpected deviation from the filmmaker’s usual cinematic universe. Curious experiment that unfolds with a certain freshness. Available on Rakuten TV, KILOSGoogle Play, Apple iTunes.
Boyhood (2014)
Twelve years of life lived for a child who becomes a teenager, trying to make his way in life and create a unique, personal path. With Boyhood Linklater reaches a peak of truth within cinema that very few have reached in the history of fiction cinema. In support Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette they are immeasurable, so much so that she gets to the Oscar. Nominations for film and direction, for Hawke and other scattered. A hymn to youth, to the passing of time, to the strong flavor of true human relationships, indissoluble despite everything. Talking about a masterpiece is not an exaggeration, far from it. Intense and intimate at the same time. With sequences of characters sitting at a table talking that alone are worth a compendium on the Seventh Art. Vibrant. Available on Rakuten TV, Google Play, Apple Itunes, Amazon Prime Video.
Everybody Wants Something (2016)
A jaunty youth comedy that harks back directly to the beginning. In a composite and absolutely sparkling cast they emerge Glen Powell and a magnificent one Zoey Deutsch. Everyone wants something gives us a Linklater who takes himself lightly, who wants to talk about young people with freedom and emotional participation. Truly enthralling moments of collective acting, with a winning optimism and an intoxicating zest for life, as always in Linklater’s cinema. To be seen in one go and remembered with extreme fondness. A hidden but precious pearl in the author’s filmography. Spontaneous. Available on Rakuten TV, Google Play, Apple Itunes.
