Q&A: Richard Linklater on time, nostalgia & 'Apollo 10 1/2'
Richard Linklater poses for a portrait at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin, Texas, on March 12, 2022, to promote his film Apollo 10 1/2." an affectionate ode to his own childhood growing up outside Houston in the late 1960s.
Time flows through Linklater’s films. Its passing paced “Boyhood” and punctuated the “Before” trilogy. He has plunged in the ’70s and the ‘80s , and made movies long enough to see his films become indelibly associated with the '90s. “I wanted to go back to that time and say what it was like at that moment,” says Linklater. “We fall into hero myths and big stories. Correct me if I’m wrong, but when was the last time the world was focused and united around a human accomplishment?”
AP: When you made 1993’s “Dazed and Confused,” the ’70s weren’t so far away. Now, they're 50 years ago. How long ago does it feel to you?Linklater: When I was doing “Dazed” it honestly felt farther. Yeah, it is a long time, but it doesn’t feel that long for me. I remembered it all really well. If I have one innate gift in the world, it’s probably a very exacting memory for people and details and conversations.
