Richard Linklater\u2019s directorial career has been a rich and varied one \u2013 from classic hangout movies like Dazed and Confused to superb romance tales like The Before Trilogy and more experimental projects like Boyhood.<\/p>\n

But one other film style he has returned to on a couple of occasions throughout his career is rotoscope animation, with previous films Waking Life and\u00a0A Scanner Darkly both making use of this technique.<\/p>\n

For his new Netflix<\/a> film, Apollo 10\u00bd: A Space Age Childhood, Linklater has once again turned to rotoscope, this time to tell a story based on his own childhood \u2013 about a boy in 1969 Houston who is fascinated by the moon landings and fantasises about the event.<\/p>\n

Apollo 10\u00bd release date<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The film is released globally on Netflix on Friday 1st April \u2013 following a very brief theatrical run in some cinemas from Friday 24th March.<\/p>\n

Before that, it had its world premiere at South by Southwest film festival on 13th March, where it played to very positive reviews.<\/p>\n

Apollo 10\u00bd plot<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The film tells a nostalgic story set in 1969 Houston, as a 10-year old boy fantasises about making his own trip to the moon following the first landing \u2013 while we also follow the people who helped create that famous moment.<\/p>\n

An official synopsis provided by Netflix reads: \u201cApollo 10\u00bd: A Space Age Childhood tells the story of the first moon landing in the summer of 1969 from two interwoven perspectives \u2013 the astronaut and mission control view of the triumphant moment, and through the eyes of a kid growing up in Houston, Texas who has intergalactic dreams of his own.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaking inspiration from Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Richard Linklater\u2019s own life, Apollo 10 \u00bd: A Space Age Childhood\u00a0is a snapshot of American life in the 1960s that is part coming of age, part societal commentary, and part out-of-this-world adventure.<\/p>\n
