Now here, then gone...

Richard Linklater’s Boyhood is less a film in the conventional sense than a lived experience, compressed into nearly three hours of screen time. Shot over twelve years with the same cast, the project collapses the boundary between fiction and documentary: we are not only witnessing the aging of characters, but also the real transformation of the actors themselves.

At its core the film is a study of time- not in the epic, sweeping sense of history, but in the intimate rhythms of ordinary life. It refuses the dramatic contrivances typical of coming-of-age stories. There are no neatly structured crises and climactic revelations. Instead, we encounter divorces, moves, awkward first loves, dull jobs, and long conversations that seem to drift without direction. This very absence of high drama is the film's very statement; life is rarely plotted but always momentous.

This film is chosen by Maaike.
