Suburbia

"Richard Linklater's fine new film subUrbia combines his talents with those of Eric Bogosian and brings out the best in both. Mr. Bogosian's venomously funny play, which he adapted himself for the screen, is given warmth and generosity by Mr. Linklater, whose elegantly fluid direction and great skill with actors are accentuated by the play's spareness. Mr. Bogosian's knife edged humor and hairpin turns at the end of the play keep the material from meandering and guarantee the film its sting.Bogosian, Eric is the author of 'Suburbia', published 1997 under ISBN 9780312166151 and ISBN 031216615X.
