From the New York Times this is the interview.
I'm David Marchese.
If I ask you to think of a Richard Linklater movie, what do you think of?
Maybe it's the cult favorite days of Confused.
That's the movie that launched Matthew McConaughey's career.
Or maybe it's before sunrise, the first installment of his beloved trilogy about big ideas, love and fate.
Or maybe you'd think about the low key coming of age epic boyhood, which Linklater famously filmed over a dozen years.
And of course, he can't forget school of Rock, his biggest hit, which exists in a category all of its own.
And to me, that's the fun of Linklater's work.
You never quite know what he's gonna make next, so I wasn't surprised to see him getting into romantic crime thrillers with his new movie Hitman.
It stars the great Glenn Powell, who also co wrote it.
It's excellent, but I would argue that it's excellent because it's actually not so far off from his other work as it might seem.
Between all the thrills, the crimes and the sex, Hitman sneaks in a pretty provocative exploration of one of Linklater's favorite themes, the changing nature of identity, basically what it means to be a person.
It's also a movie, as so many of Linklater's films are, that understands just how much fun it is to watch smart characters talk to each other, exploring ideas, making each other laugh, and even testing each other a little bit.
