Boyhood

Back in 2001, Richard Linklater conceived an “impractical idea” that would, in contrast, sporadically absorb him for the next 12 to 13 years: “the story of a parent-child relationship that follows a boy from the first through the 12th grade and ends with him going off to college”. Unique in scope and potential pitfalls Linklater’s gamble, revisited for a few scenes each year and becoming, in his words, like a “summer camp art project”, is in fact an absolute gem, possibly the director’s masterpiece to date.

There is no plot here in a conventional sense; instead, as Hawke puts it, “timelapse photography of a human being”. And yet things happen. One of the perhaps unexpected joys of Boyhood for a contemporary Western audience is that it is also timelapse photography of our last decade or so. We glimpse the run-up to Obama’s first election, the arrival of the iPod and a father-son campfire discussion on possible future Star Wars movies.

We had to include this true masterpiece of our time, Linklater’s beautiful film is an extraordinary achievement — tender, funny, wise and wistful, full of warmth and humanity. Winner of Best Picture and Best Director at the BAFTAs.
