Catching Up With... Richard Linklater

Catching Up With... Richard Linklater

Few modern directors have displayed the sheer range and adoration of filmmaking as that of arthouse luminary Richard Linklater. After spending the last decade offering fare as diverse as rotoscoped sci-fi dirge A Scanner Darkly, yellow-journalism parable Fast Food Nation, a remake of nostalgic kids’ romp Bad News Bears and Jack Black comedy School of Rock, Linklater’s latest, Orson Welles And Me, is just as captivating and surprising as should be expected.

The Toronto International Film Festival, which wrapped up its 10-day run this past weekend, is arguably the most important film festival in North America. But to the average moviegoer it's not as well known as Sundance, in part because TIFF samples the most promising new film from around the world while Sundance emphasizes home-grown movies, for better or worse.
