Alright, Alright, Alright: The Oral History of Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused by Melissa Maerz

4.0

There are so many delightful little nuggets in this book! My favorite bits tended to be tangential to the actual making of Dazed and Confused -- like Richard Linklater discussing what it was like to grow up in Huntsville, Texas, and Matthew McConaughey reminiscing about his father and some of the (truly) wild stories he would tell. I would have given this 5-stars, except the sections (as essential as they are) dealing with the behind-the-scenes machinations of the Hollywood studio system kind of lost my attention. Still, this is a fun read for any film enthusiast or obsessive. Highly recommended.
