Trivia Movie 1992: Slacker
Starring Richard Linklater, Rudy Basquez, Jean Caffeine, Jan Hockey, Stephan Hockey
This movie has no discernible "plot" except to follow the lives of some of the most interesting and quirky people you are liable to meet. You follow one person, you get a snapshot of their life and the movie then takes off on the life of a person that may just be walking by on the street. You get just enough to encapsulate where they are at in life right now. Most are going no where and this is the reason for the movies title. Great dialogue here and great stuff to get you thinking about the strangest things (Smurfs as Hindu propaganda???). Great movie if you will just give yourself over to it and release all expectations as far as what a movie is supposed to be.[summary from IMDB]
