It's impossible to learn to plow by reading books - 2

Richard Linklater's first film, this is slow moving and is a very passive movie, with very little dialogue. It was also made for $3000, which shows. The title sounded interesting, but it is from a common Russian saying that the main character has on his t-shirt. This film does show some of the early ideas that Linklater had that he included in his much better films: Waking Life and Slacker. You will probably enjoy this film if you are a huge fan, but other than that it is sort of like watching a distant relatives wedding video--no, not the one with the drunk uncle, the one where nothing happens.
