Filmmaker Richard Linklater, director of Dazed and Confused, School of Rock, A Scanner Darkly, and Before Sunrise, has put together a film unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Boyhood was shot over the course of 12 years and its stars–Ellar Coltrane, Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette, and Lorelei Linklater–grow before your eyes as you watch it. In other words, you won’t see different actors play older versions of the kids introduced at the start of the film; it’s all the same people throughout!
Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater’s Boyhood is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough performance by Ellar Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason’s parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister Samantha, Boyhood charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before. Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between become transcendent, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from Coldplay’s Yellow to Arcade Fire’s Deep Blue. Boyhood is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting. It’s impossible to watch Mason and his family without thinking about our own journey.
This promising, captivating experience hits theatres July 11.
