Directed by Ben Stiller • 1994 • United States
Starring Winona Ryder, Ben Stiller, Ethan Hawke
Arguably the definitive Gen X cinematic statement, this zeitgeist-defining comedic drama captures the anxiousness and uncertainty of postcollege life in the 1990s with sharp wit and generational insight. Winona Ryder leads a who’s who ensemble cast of rising stars as Lelaina, a recent college grad living in Houston, Texas, who, armed with a camcorder, sets out to make a movie about the aimless lives of her friends, including a slacker musician (Ethan Hawke), a Gap store manager (Janeane Garofalo) awaiting the results of an AIDS test, and a young gay man (Steve Zahn) struggling to come out to his parents.
