It’s Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books (1988)
Richard Linklater’s first (and little seen) film is as mentally unwieldy as its title. But under the cryptic title and Jarmusch-like non-narrative is an interesting if far from classic narrative on the boringness of daily life (at least for Gen X slackers). A direct precursor to Slacker, Linklater’s characters here are far more unmotivated in life. At least in Slacker people are trying to do something even if it’s fixing a car. Plow’s characters are content to ride busses and watch TV, while Linklater’s unblinking camera captures it all.
