839 - Boyhood (2014)
b'
It\\u2019s weird to think of a film in the Criterion collection that took twelve years to make that doesn\\u2019t involve production delays. \\xa0I mean, who does Richard Linklater think he is? \\xa0Some sort of anti-Gilliam: casting children with the intent that they will literally mature into their roles, smoothly wrangling a crew for over a decade, adapting to the passage of time, all with a seeming sense of ease, deliberate planning, and foresight? \\xa0And then to have the sheer nerve to put all of that effort toward a non-forced, impressionistic, account of the living circumstances of just some kid and his family in Texas? \\xa0And then to be successful in this endeavor?! \\xa0Where is the humility?
If you\\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Peter Weir\\u2019s Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975).
