SubUrbia

DIRECTED BY: Richard Linklater

REVIEWED: 04-03-97

Director Richard Linklater continues his investigation of Gen-X angst in this adaptation of the play by Eric Bogosian. A great cast helps counteract the lingering theatricality of the production--sometimes it seems like guys in black leotards are about to run on screen and start moving furniture around. But despite the films limitations, Linklater tackles his subject--disaffected, alienated white kids--with energy and wit. If you're young and confused, or if you used to be young and confused, or if you plan to be young and confused sometime in the future, this film will give you a few pointers on how to conduct yourself.
