Shooting on 16 mm for a mere $3,000, writer-producer-director Linklater and his crew of friends threw out any idea of a traditional plot, choosing instead to create a tapestry of over a hundred characters, each as compelling as the last. Slacker is a prescient look at an emerging generation of aggressive nonparticipants, and one of the key films of the American independent film movement of the 1990s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew, restored high-definition digital film transfer, supervised by director Richard Linklater and director of photo­graphy Lee Daniel, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree audio commentaries, featuring Linklater and members of the cast and crew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eIt's Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(1988), Linklater's first full-length feature, with commentary by the director\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eWoodshock\u003c\/i\u003e, a 1985 16 mm short by Linklater and Daniel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCasting tapes featuring select \"auditions\" from the more-than-100-member cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"The Roadmap,\" the working script for Slacker, including fourteen deleted scenes and alternate takes (DVD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeleted scenes and alternate takes (Blu-ray)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFootage from the Slacker tenth-anniversary reunion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly film treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHome movies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen-minute trailer for a 2005 documentary about the landmark Austin café Les Amis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal theatrical trailer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStills gallery featuring hundreds of rare behind-the-scenes production and publicity photos (DVD only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlacker culture essay by Linklater (DVD only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInformation about the Austin Film Society, founded in 1985 by Linklater with Daniel, including early flyers from screenings (DVD only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLUS: A booklet featuring essays by author and film­maker John Pierson and Michael Barker, as well as reviews, production notes, and an introduction to It's Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books by director Monte Hellman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CRITERION COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"BLU-RAY","offer_id":48993657553115,"sku":null,"price":44.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/6379\/4395\/files\/75696_front.jpg?v=1784578824","url":"https:\/\/baystvideo.com\/products\/slacker-1990-criterion","provider":"Bay Street Video","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
