Richard Linklater

Richard Linklater, whose groundbreaking Slacker we released in 2004, and whose Dazed and Confused we released in 2006, offers up his list of favorite Criterion DVDs. About his “ever-changing but current top ten,” Linklater says, “I’ve been revisiting spirit-and-the-flesh titles, with a little comedy mixed in.”
