Richard Linklater
He lives in Austin, not L.A. He enjoys a level of creative freedom few filmmakers can afford. He jumps from quasi-animated philosophical films like A Scanner Darkly to mainstream comedies like School of Rock to classic romances like Before Sunset. Writer-director Richard Linklater talks with Kurt Andersen about the choices he’s made and why they don’t define him.
