I had never heard anything about this movie or director until I watched it by chance at a friend's house. This movie is now my favorite movie of all time and I love several of the other movies by Richard Linklater (A Scanner Darkly, Slacker, Fast Food Nation, Dazed and Confused, etc.), the director.
It's hard to say what exactly the plot of this movie is or what this movie is about. Basically, it's just about a guy who goes around having thought provoking and at times odd conversations. It's incredibly deep and brings about many new ideas. I would only recomend watching this movie if you are able to simply sit still and think. It's nothing like any other movie I've ever seen. Everything from the format of the movie to the plot (or lack there of) is incredibly innovative. Linklater uses many characters from some of his other movies, such as Before Sunset and Before Sunrise, to make this movie a collage of all his movies. It's just as enjoyable for those who have never seen any of Linklater's other movies, but it would certainly be more appreciated by Linklater fans. As long as you can simply sit down for a little more then an hour and a half and are willing to think, I would almost guarantee that you will love this movie.
Here's a trailer:
