Richard Linklater on RIVER’S EDGE

Wow, our Jewels In The Wasteland II screening of RIVER’S EDGE (1986) was pretty terrific. It’s a movie that I had not seen since the ’80s and my memories were that it was relentlessly grim. It’s not. There’s so much humor in it. So many notes of truth. It’s a great film. Here’s AFS Artistic Director Richard Linklater’s pre-recorded introduction (he had to miss the beginning of the screening) and the post movie discussion.
