Boyhood
Trace the life experiences of a young boy, Mason, as we (literally) watch him grow up on screen from the age of 5 to 18 as an incoming college freshman. Set in Texas, the film takes us through his experiences as a child of divorced parents, witness to his mother’s “parade of drunken assholes,” and angsty rule-breaking photographer.
Boyhood was directed by Richard Linklater, who won an award for the film at the Berlin International Film Festival. It was directed over the course of 11 years, and received overwhelmingly positive critical acclaim.
