The highest-grossing movie since “Gone With The Wind”, this moving account follows several soldiers re-acclimating to civilian life in a world that has moved on without them. Thankless bastards. This movie rules. It's long, but it's awesome. John also talks about “Backrooms”. Grab a beer and join us! linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page! Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

Ko je francoski novi val, umetniško gibanje iz sredine prejšnjega stoletja, zarezal v dotedanjo filmsko tradicijo, ustvarjalno omejeno z brezhibno izpiljenimi scenariji in okostenelo produkcijo, ki ni dopuščala nobenega odmika, je film definiral popolnoma na novo. Nenadoma se je v njem znašlo vse, kar je še do včeraj veljalo za nesprejemljivo – na primer snemanje kadrov s kamero kar iz roke – in kar se nam danes zdi popolnoma samoumevno, to pa seveda le še dodatno potrjuje revolucionarno daljnovidnost zagnanih ustvarjalcev. Prav posebej pa novi val, ki je filmski svet pretresel kot pravi cunami, zaznamuje še nekaj: izredna povezanost in sodelovanje takrat še zelo mladih filmskih ustvarjalcev, ki so v iskanju novega filmskega izraza zmogli stopiti skupaj in ustvariti resnično navdihujoče ustvarjalno okolje. In prav to neverjetno in enkratno filmsko vzdušje konca petdesetih let v Parizu je poskušal oživiti ameriški režiser Richard Linklater v filmu Novi val ter se tako pokloniti svojim stanovskim predhodnikom, predvsem Jeanu-Lucu Godardu, čigar film Do zadnjega diha si je vzel za izhodišče. Linklater – širšo prepoznavnost mu je zagotovil romantični film Pred sončnim vzhodom iz leta 1995 – je resnični mojster ustvarjanja atmosfere, ki gledalca tako posrka v dogajanje, da vsaj tu in tam kar pozabi na svojo pozicijo opazovalca, in prav to je najbrž tudi največja odlika njegovega najnovejšega celovečernega filma. Kot sam pravi, se namreč zgodbe o nastajanju enega najbolj prelomnih filmov v zgodovini ni nameraval lotiti biografsko ali preveč dokumentaristično, ampak se je s svojo kamero želel »potopiti v leto 1959 ter oživiti čas, ljudi, vzdušje«, pri tem pa je seveda ostal močno zavezan resničnim dogodkom in poročilom o njih. Posebej srečno roko je imel pri izbiri igralcev, sploh pri zasedbi Guillauma Marbecka, saj je bila upodobitev Jeana-Luca Godarda zanj prva glavna filmska vloga, nalogo pa je, kot pravi sam, ob pomoči sončnih očal, kakršne je nosil Godard sam, opravil zares izvrstno. V nasprotju s filmom, s katerim je Godard spremenil filmsko zgodovino in ga na producentovo precejšnjo grozo posnel popolnoma brez vnaprejšnjega scenarija, po trenutnem navdihu in s sproti improviziranimi dialogi, je Linklater s svojo ustvarjalno ekipo kar nekaj časa namenil pripravam, med snemanjem pa vendarle ohranil tisti pristni novovalovski občutek spontanosti in igrivosti ter ga uspešno prenesel na veliko platno. Novi val, ki ga je bilo moč videti že na lanskem Ljubljanskem filmskem festivalu, pred dnevi pa so z njim v Kinodvoru odprli letošnje Kinodvorišče, se v filmsko zgodovino gotovo ne bo vpisal tako močno, kot se je Godardov prvenec, vseeno pa gre za enega boljših filmskih poklonov, ki s svojim živahnim magnetizmom ni privlačen le za ozek krog filmofilov, ampak tudi za širše, dobrega filma željno občinstvo.

Richard Linklater's Dazed & Confused (70s Soundtrack) This week Mr. Chavez & I return to Richard Linklater's 1993 "Hang-Out" Masterpiece, Dazed & Confused, focusing on the importance and use of its soundtrack. Featuring Aerosmith, KISS, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, WAR, ZZ Top, Edgar Winter Group, and Deep Purple, among others, Linklater's "Cinematic Soundtrack" would establish nostalgia, youth, freedom, aimless wandering, and a musical foundation inspired by previous films and inspiring others to come.

Robert Kaplow is the author of numerous novels. In 2008, director Richard Linklater filmed an adaptation of Robert's novel ME AND ORSON WELLES. In the past, Robert has taught English and Creative Writing, and for over a decade, he and his band (“Moe Moskowitz and the Punsters”) wrote, produced, and performed satirical sketches for NPR's Morning Edition. BLUE MOON is his first original screenplay. BLUE MOON tells the story of Lorenz Hart's struggles with alcoholism and mental health as he tries to save face during the opening of "Oklahoma!". The film stars Ethan Hawke, Margaret Qualley, and Andrew Scott. In this interview, we talk about the film adaptation of his novel ME AND ORSON WELLES, the development of the screenplay for BLUE MOON with Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke, the creative process of writing a plausible voice for Lorenz Hart, plus advice for writers on patience, persistence, and keeping the faith when facing rejection.

Adaptation is a tricky thing no matter the source in cinema. Novels, life stories, historical events, original ideas, short stories. Adapting live theater plays is an especially tricky business. Something written to be performed live, often in 1 location/set, with concentrated poetic dialogue, plays different as a movie. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill takes a look at everything from Sidney Lumet's adaptations of 12 Angry Men and Long Day's Journey into Night to all the various Shakespeare adaptations to experimental one location minimalist adaptations like Richard Linklater's 2001 Tape. His conclusion? It might help moviemakers to direct some plays to be better prepared to adapt them to the big screen.
As the road to 100 episodes continues, we're back once again with Will's pick for the week: Richard Linklater's Boyhood. Listen up as the podcast duo examines the hype and subsequent backlash of this audacious experiment, its connection to other notable films in the Linklater filmography, and much more!
Lucy and Sean RETVRN to the airwaves and to the year 1994 of 1977/2006 by way of the interminable, kaleidoscopic present to talk about Richard Linklater's (literally) dizzying digitally rotoscoped adaptation of Philip K Dick's A Scanner Darkly.
Chicago-based director Jared Isaac recently directed his debut feature film AN AUTUMN SUMMER, which releases next month. A great conversation about the joys of shooting an indie film in the hidden cinematic gem of Northern Michigan. We spoke about the personal nature of this film and how it's based on some of his closest friends...and the fascinating story of how he was able to, against-all-odds, cast Tony Horton as the father. Horton is the founder of the ground breaking, immensely popular, workout program P90X. We also spoke of a couple of his favorite movie scenes from Ridley Scott's GLADIATOR as well as Matthew Mcconaughey's as Wooderson in Richard Linklater's DAZED & CONFUSED.

In this episode, we kick off May with the groundbreaking indie film from director Richard Linklater, "Slacker", starring a wide cast of characters from Austin, Texas! Listen now!
Party Films Month rolls on with Richard Linklater's endlessly cool coming-of-age classic Dazed and Confused.Set over the course of one unforgettable night in 1976, the film captures the freedom, awkwardness, rebellion, and pure hangout energy of being young and having nowhere important to be. We dive into Linklater's laid-back storytelling style, the stacked cast before they became stars, and why this film continues to feel timeless decades later.From cruising around town to chasing parties and dodging paddles, Dazed and Confused perfectly captures that fleeting moment between adolescence and adulthood.Funny, nostalgic, and impossibly chill — this is the ultimate “last day of school” movie.#WatchTowerFilmPodcast #PartyFilmsMonth #DazedAndConfused #RichardLinklater #ComingOfAge #MatthewMcConaughey #FilmPodcast #CultClassic #CinephileTalk #AlrightAlrightAlright
Richard Linklater's Dazed & Confused On this week's episode we explore 1976 through the eyes of 1993, with Richard Linklater's slacker/high-school masterpiece, Dazed & Confused. Linklater's love letter to high school coming-of-age films is one of the stand-out productions of early 90s independent cinema; a film that blends aimless storytelling with a pounding and nostalgic 70s soundtrack, to reminisce on the good, bad, boring, and character forming experiences of growing up. Juniors becoming Seniors, Middle-Schoolers transitioning to High School, Dazed & Confused is much more than a re-creation of Texas in 1976. Linklater's film is a funny, touching, and - surprisingly - heart-warming story of finding ones' way, selling out, peaking in high school, and imagining the future and ones' place in it. It's about the friendships we make and how so much of that plays a part in building our individual characters. Dazed & Confused is a cult classic which began the careers of Jason London, Adam Goldberg, Joey Lauren Adams, Cole Hauser, Nicky Katt, Parker Posey, and Matthew McConaughey. It's a thrill for Mr. Chavez & I to return to this classic and examine how so much of it mirrors our own lives. Take a listen and let us know what you think.

We sit down with award-winning filmmaker Tatti Ribeiro to discuss her feature debut, Valentina. Fresh off winning a Special Jury Award at the Florida Film Festival, Tatti dives deep into the unique hybrid construction of her film, a poignant comedy that blurs the lines between narrative fiction and documentary reality.Tatti explains the process of casting Keyla Monterroso Mejia (The Studio, Curb Your Enthusiasm) as the only professional actor in a world populated by real El Paso citizens, local officials, and even Keyla's own family. Tatti discusses her desire to showcase the humor, hustle, and heart of the city she spent years reporting on as a journalist.About the Movie:Valentina follows a young woman navigating a series of bureaucratic mishaps at the El Paso-Juárez border. While the people, locations, and conversations are real, Valentina is not. Executive produced by Jessica Alba, this narrative feature debut is a rare, complex look at the systems that keep poor Americans poor, delivered with the vibe of a Richard Linklater slacker comedy.Guest: Tatti Ribeiro (Filmmaker & Founder of franknews.us)Follow the Film: @valentinamovie on Instagram for distribution updates.
In 1936, cannabis was portrayed as a menace to society. By 1993, it was simply part of the furniture.Episode Two of Helping or Hurting? revisits Dazed and Confused, Richard Linklater's cult classic set on the last day of school in 1976. Far removed from the hysteria of Reefer Madness, this film presents cannabis not as a threat, but as a quiet and unremarkable presence in the lives of American teenagers. But was this shift a step forward?Hosted by Paul O'Donoghue of Give & Toke, alongside Joel and Bash of Exotican, this episode explores whether Dazed and Confused helped normalise cannabis through relatability, or reinforced stereotypes that continue to shape public perception today.Part cultural time capsule, part social commentary, this conversation examines the intersection of cinema, stigma, and progress.This four-part series from Give & Toke and Exotican examines how cannabis has been portrayed on screen, and whether those portrayals have helped or hindered reform.Give & Toke: https://giveandtoke.comExotican: https://exotican.com.au
Sinema kulübümüzün 30'uncu buluşmasında yönetmenliğini Richard Linklater'ın yaptığı, başrollerinde Ethan Hawke ve Julie Delpy'nin oynadığı 1995 yılı yapımı Before Sunrise (Gün Doğmadan) adlı filmini konuştuk.Film, Budapeşte'den Paris'e giden bir trende karşılaşan Amerikalı Jesse ile Fransız Céline'in tesadüfi bir kararla Viyana'da inip bir geceyi birlikte geçirmesini anlatıyor. Bir daha karşılaşıp karşılaşmayacaklarını bilmeden, bütün bir gece boyunca şehirde dolaşıyor; aşk, ölüm, inanç, aile, zaman üzerine konuşuyorlar. Senaryo, Linklater'ın 1989'da Philadelphia'da bir oyuncakçıda tanıştığı ve onunla bir geceyi şehirde yürüyerek geçirdiği bir kadından ilham almış; ama asıl yürek burkan detay ise yönetmenin yıllar sonra o kadının daha film gösterime girmeden bir trafik kazasında hayatını kaybettiğini öğrenmesi. Before Sunrise, ardından gelen Before Sunset (2004) ve Before Midnight (2013) ile birlikte, sinemanın en sevilen üçlemelerinden birinin de ilk halkası.Film, kulübümüzde geneli itibarıyla beğeniyle karşılandı. En çok dikkat çeken yönü, diyalogların doğallığı ve iki yabancının birbirine bu kadar açılabilmesinin yarattığı saf, masalsı duyguydu. Bazılarımız için film, hayatta yaşanmış benzer karşılaşmaları, bir yolculukta kurulan beklenmedik dostlukları hatırlattı. Trenin ve yabancı bir şehrin yarattığı o "kendi rutinden çıkma" hissinin, böyle bir yakınlığın oluşmasında nasıl bir alan açtığını uzun uzun konuştuk; yeni bir yere gitmenin, tanıdık olmayan bir ortamda kendini daha rahat ifade etmenin getirdiği özgürlüğü.Filmde bize en çok etki eden detaylardan biri de 1995 yapımı olmasının getirdiği "internet öncesi" yavaşlığın bugünden bakınca ne kadar değerli göründüğü oldu; herkesin telefonuna gömüldüğü bir çağda, iki insanın birbirinin gözlerinin içine bakarak saatlerce konuşabilmesinin bizzat bir özlem konusu haline geldiğini paylaştık.Filmin diğer bir düşündürücü yanı ise, hayatımızdaki "kırılma anlarının" ne kadar küçük kararların ürünü olabildiğiydi. Trenden inmek ya da inmemek gibi bir an, koca bir hayatın seyrini değiştirebiliyor. Rutinin dışına çıkmak, her zamankinden farklı bir yol seçmek ve daha başka küçük yenilikleri, çeşitlemeleri kendimize hatırlatmak gerektiğine inancımı pekiştirdi.Bu bölümde görüşlerine yer verebildiğim arkadaşlarım sırasıyla (02:52) Mürsel Çavuş, (04:38) Mete Yurtsever, (05:38) Suat Soy, (07:27) Ebru Vural, (11:19) Uğur İyidoğan ve (13:57) Burcu Yılmaz.Support the show
Isn't it great being a young adult in the 90's? From the king of “coming of age” Richard Linklater, we're covering the film adaptation of the Eric Bogosian play SUBURBIA about a bunch of white suburban teenagers figuring out their futures while hanging outside a corner-store gas station. Starring Giovanni Ribisi, Amie Carey, Steve Zahn, Parker Posey, Nicky Katt, and Jayce Bartok. A darkly comic drama depicting a slice of American culture through the perspective of a bunch of dysfunctional teens dealing with the baggage that has crept into their lives and their constant observations about the world around them. There's tragedy. There are $2.79 6-pack PBR's. And oh, but plenty of tragedy, let's not forget. In short, try to be more like Steve Zahn!
Hannah Cruz currently stars opposite Aaron Tveit, Lea Michele, and Nicholas Christopher in Chess on Broadway, directed by Michael Mayer.

Forgive us our slight post-Oscar delay, dear listeners, but here we are for our eighth annual year-end review show, which we call 2025: Juke Joints and a Few Small Beers in honor of two of the year's (and perhaps the decade's or even the century's) most unforgettable films. This episode represents an exciting step for us as, for the first time, we welcome a guest: the redoubtable Kerry Cowan, brilliant teacher, lifelong film fan, and an old old friend of mine. Looking back at the year in film that was 2025, we noted that this was the first year since we started back in 2018 that we all really had trouble narrowing the field to a top ten. In the past, we've often had to stretch for the last couple, ending up with Top 7 or Top 8 lists. This year, as you shall see below and hear within, our problem was what to leave off. In a year of triumphs from sources both expected and unexpected, perhaps the best thing about the year was the return to form of some of our favorite directors: Coogler with "Sinners", PTA with "One Battle", our beloved Chloe with "Hamnet", Aronofsky with the underseen "Caught Stealing", Del Toro with "Frankenstein", Aster with "Eddington", Bigelow with "House of Dynamite" and the astonishing Richard Linklater with not one but two wonderful films. As always, we considered the eternal question of which of these films will be watched by anyone in 25 years, let alone show up the Sight and Sound poll in 2032. No doubt whatsoever about "Sinners" and "One Battle". I would throw "Eddington" on that list, as uneven as it is, since it points to a vivid moment in the American pageant, reminding us exactly when it was that we lost our minds. "Hamnet" will surely be there, and we suspect that the luminous "Train Dreams" might have some legs down the road. With Michael in the lead, we all loved "Sentimental Value" (besides the facial morph montage). None of us cared much for "Bugonia", though I actually came within 10 minutes of liking a Lanthimos film before that ending. We also ended up underwhelmed by "Marty Supreme", which personally killed me with its 50's setting clashing with 80's synth-pop throughout. Yes, we would have gotten the idea that the go-go Wall Street/American Psycho 80's had its roots in figures from the 50's like Marty without being hit over the head with it musically. Trust your audience, filmmakers! As for the Oscars themselves, it was another great party this year, only slightly spoiled by the fact that Michael won the pool by a landslide again this year. It's now 98 years and running with no black person winning for Best Director, but it's hard to complain about Paul Thomas Anderson finally winning after 14 nominations in almost 30 years of work. And the Cinematography award going to Autumn Durald Arkapaw, the first woman and black person to win that one, indicates that we may in fact be making progress. And they got it right with Michael B (finally), the lit-from-within Jessie Buckley (best acceptance speech), and "Sentimental Value"'s win for Foreign Language Film. As for the show itself, Conan was fine, though the bits were hit and miss as usual. We loved the "Bridesmaids" reunion, the "Moulin Rouge!" one not so much, and loved the painfully accurate "Casablanca" bit with Sterling K. Brown where plot elements have to be restated every couple of minutes or so to accommodate declining attention spans. And they finally got the necrology right, though we wish we had more time to see who came onstage for Rob Reiner; Rachel McAdams' tribute to Diane Keaton was lovely, but it did turn out that Babs' singing voice was not exactly like butter. So kick back, relax, and enjoy Kerry's star turn as our D'Artagnan, our Fourth Musketeer, as Team Vintage Sand reflects and reports on what was perhaps the best year in film since we started this lunacy some eight years ago, in the Before Time.
Screenwriters Hannah Bos (HBO's Somebody Somewhere), Kim Krizan (Before Sunrise, Before Sunset) and Selina Lim (Sex Education, Hanna) on building writing partnerships, developing characters from the inside out, and finding your way into a writers' room. You'll learn Why a writing partnership only works when you can separate your ego from your ideas. How seven years of making weird theatre in Brooklyn quietly set the stage for an HBO show. What it takes to write a quiet, character-driven show in a TV landscape built for plot. How a master's thesis on a diarist turned into one of the most beloved screenplays of the nineties. How Before Sunrise was built from index cards on a living room floor. Why thinking about the product kills the work, and what to focus on instead. The case for starting with character before plot, and letting the story follow. What breaking into TV actually looks like. How to set the tone in a writers' room so the ridiculous ideas can surface. A practical approach to dialogue.

T Lo take a deep dive into director Richard Linklater's slavish love letter to the French New Wave, "Nouvelle Vague," about the making of Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless" in 1959. After unpacking the homages and references, as well as the importance of Godard's boundary-shattering work, they settle on a single question: Is it even possible to pay homage to an act of reckless artistry by meticulously recreating it?

Puntata a cura di UntimoteoHouston, 1969. Il piccolo Stan gioca tranquillo nel cortile della scuola quando viene avvicinato da due loschi figuri, che in realtà si rivelano essere agenti della NASA. I due lo mettono a parte di una imbarazzante verità. A causa di un errore di calcolo la navicella che deve far atterrare i primi cosmonauti sulla luna è troppo piccola. Per pilotarla serve un bambino.Tutto in Apollo 10 e mezzo (Netflix) sembra pronto per una storiella avventurosa e fanciullesca… quando i ricordi e le fantasie di Stan si mescolano. E la voce del protagonista adulto apre un varco nello scintillante mondo dell'America di fine anni ‘60.Ancora una volta il regista Richard Linklater spiazza il suo pubblico. “Animazione” è il format del podcast di Mondoserie dedicato alle diverse scuole ed espressioni del genere, dall'Oriente alla scena europea e americana.Parte del progetto: https://www.mondoserie.it/ Iscriviti al podcast sulla tua piattaforma preferita o su: https://www.spreaker.com/show/mondoserie-podcast Collegati a MONDOSERIE sui social:https://www.facebook.com/mondoserie https://www.instagram.com/mondoserie.it/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwXpMjWOcPbFwdit0QJNnXQ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mondoserie/

In "The Testament Of Ann Lee" folgt die Regisseurin Mona Fastvold den Spuren der Shaker-Bewegung aus dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts. Zwischen ekstatischem Tanz und Zölibat erzählt der Film von der Gründerin dieser Freikirche, gespielt von einer entgrenzten Amanda Seyfried. Auch in "Nouvelle Vague" von Richard Linklater geht es um eine sektenhafte Gruppe Gleichgesinnter mit höheren Zielen. Ende der 1960er Jahre wollten einige französische Filmverrückte das Kino neu erfinden. Linklater zeigt die Dreharbeiten zum Klassiker "Außer Atem" von Jean-Luc Godard als Initialzündung einer Neuen Welle. Zwei Filme in einer Episode, die Pia Reiser und Christian Fuchs auf unterschiedliche Weise euphorisierten. Als Bonus am Anfang: Kurzbesprechungen von Bradley Coopers Ehedrama "Is This Thing On?" und Kristen Stewarts Regiedebüt "The Chronology of Water". Sendungshinweis: FM4 Film Podcast, 23.03.2026, 0 Uhr

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt sit down with Bradley Cooper and Will Arnett, director, co-writers, and stars of the new dramedy, Is This Thing On?, which takes inspiration from the real-life story of British comedian, John Bishop. It's an in-depth chat that we bring to you in full (although we did cut out a bit where someone poured a glass of water. Sorry to all you water completists out there), and it's well worth your time. It starts at 55:50 approx and runs until 1:20:14 approx. Either side of that, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Alex Godfrey for a fun episode in which they discuss the movie moments guaranteed to make them cry no matter how many times they've seen them; run their eyes over what passes for movie news (it was quite a slow week); review Is This Thing On?, action-comedy The Wrecking Crew, Jason Statham's Shelter, mad monkey movie Primate; and Richard Linklater's love letter to the French New Wave, Nouvelle Vague. Oh, and we make good on last week's promise, and bring you James, Helen, and Chris tackling their specialist subjects in a round that pays homage to classic BBC quiz show, Mastermind. It's pure chaos. Thanks to Magneto Magnetosson, for stepping in at short notice to host. Enjoy.
Moderator Annette Insdorf will interview Ethan Hawke after a screening of his new film, Blue Moon. The prolific actor, writer, director and musician offers a tour-de-force performance as the acerbic lyricist Lorenz Hart, whose songs include "My Funny Valentine," "The Lady Is a Tramp," and "Blue Moon." In addition to Hawke's Oscar-nominated performance opposite Denzel Washington in Training Day (2001), he is perhaps best known for indie collaborations with Richard Linklater on Boyhood (2014), Waking Life (2001), and the BEFORE trilogy (1995, 2004, 2013) – which he scripted with the director and co-star Julie Delpy. Among his other memorable films are First Reformed (2017), Born to Be Blue (2015), Good Kill (2014), Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007), Hamlet (2000), Gattaca (1997), and Dead Poets Society (1989). He has also directed both fiction and documentary, such as Wildcat (2023), The Last Movie Stars (2022), Blaze (2018), and Seymour: An Introduction (2006). From a brilliant screenplay by Robert Kaplow, Linklater elicits Hawke's greatest performance yet — incarnating the self-destructive Hart on the very night that his collaborator Richard Rodgers (Andrew Scott) has just opened Oklahoma! on Broadway with new partner Oscar Hammerstein II. Co-starring Bobby Cannavale and Margaret Qualley, Blue Moon is a revelation of Hawke's maturation as an artist.
Ethan Hawke stars in the new movie ‘Blue Moon,' about lyricist Lorenz Hart, half of the Broadway duo Rodgers and Hart. It's his ninth collaboration with director Richard Linklater. He's also in the new noir-inspired streaming series ‘The Lowdown.' He tells Terry Gross while playing Hart pushed him to the edge of his ability, he totally related to his character in ‘The Lowdown.' Also, we hear from actor and director Tim Robbins. He reflects on 30 years of making films and why he believes live theater can sometimes speak to us in more profound ways than film can. He spoke with Tonya Mosley.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Filmmaker Richard Linklater doesn't speak French, but that didn't stop him from directing a movie that's almost entirely in French. ‘Nouvelle Vague' focuses on the beginning of the New Wave of cinema, specifically Jean-Luc Godard and his landmark 1960 movie ‘Breathless.' "I know that sounds insane," Linklater says, "but me not having the language wasn't even in my top 10 concerns about if I could pull off the movie." Linklater spoke with Terry Gross about the impact of the French New Wave, and his other new film, ‘Blue Moon.' It's about Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart, the former creative partner of Richard Rodgers.Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews the novel Heart the Lover by Lily King.
