Film

Fast Food Nation

Based on Eric Schlosser’s (screenplay co-writer) best seller of the same name, Fast Food Nation points an angry finger at the U.S. convenience food industry and at fast-food restaurants in particular. Don Anderson (Greg Kinnear), marketing director for Mickey’s, a fast-food chain, discovers that the meat served in Mickey’s coast to coast is rotten. In an attempt to discover the truth, he moves from California to Cody, Colorado, where the meat processing plant is located. Behind the ultra-clean façade lies an inconvenient reality: low-quality meat products derived from production waste. But there’s more besides: illegal Mexicans working under brutal conditions and at risk of work-related accidents.

Il regista / The Director

Richard Linklater (1961), studied literature at Sam Houston State University before founding the Austin Film Society in 1985 for the distribution of independent films and cinema d’auteur. He debuted as director with Slacker (1991), produced by his production company, Detour Productions, followed by: Dazed and Confused (1993); Before Sunrise (1995), Silver Berlin Bear winner at the Berlin International Film Festival; SubUrbia (1996); Newton Boys (1998); Tape (2001); Waking Life (2001); School of Rock (2003); Before Sun- set (2004); Bad News Bears (2005); A Scanner Darkly (2006).

“My trajectory was similar to the character Amber in the film. I grew up in east Texas, eating fast food, not thinking much about food, with a health teacher in high school telling me that a burger, fries, and a shake are a well-balanced meal, because all the food groups are represented. I had the impression that if you didn’t eat meat, you would just blow up and die. Vegetarians were fools. As I got older, I realised how the meat and chicken industries seemed like a big cost for the environment. But then the health costs are the next rung.”
