1991 year in film
These are the best films of 1991, THERE ARE NONE GREATER....these lists are excerpts from an ongoing book/project on film I've been editing since 1999 titled "The Refined and Uncompromising Picture Show". Not all of these films are for everyone, but I promise if you true cinephiles sit through most of them maybe you'll take something away. These are the motion pictures that tower above all other films for the years they came out in the U.S. If any of your favorite films are missing let me know and i'll either thank you for reminding me or i'll let you know why i didn't feel i needed to mention it. I would love to hear anyone's thoughts on these lists or read your own personal film lists! You can read more about these films extensively if you copy and paste the titles @ http://www.imdb.com

Slacker (1991, R)
A debut as refreshing as Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless"(1960). The little-to-no production values on this tiny film by Austin TX HERO Richard Linklater will turn off most average moviegoers, but cinephiles and young filmmakers will embrace it's brave unconventional narrative and it's gung-ho D.I.Y. mentality. Like "American Graffiti"(1973) and "Medium Cool"(1968) - "Slacker"(1991) captures the spirit of a time and a place in American history. No other film has depicted Austin's drop-out culture with more sincerity and wit than Linklater's feature film debut.. |
