We get older, but DAZED AND CONFUSED stays great1976. Austin. It’s the last day of school, and teenagers all over town are preparing for a long and perhaps life-changing summer. The first-years are searching for their places. The football team faces a contract binding them to their coach's staid morals. And Wooderson…well, he’s continuing to be Wooderson. But before the summer begins, a long, hazy, rock-and-roll-filled night lies ahead...
DAZED AND CONFUSED might be the most endlessly rewatchable movie of all time. Writer/director Richard Linklater's honest, hilarious, and enduringly quotable film is a take on the last day of school in 1976 and the teen cliques – jocks and stoners, seniors and freshmen – that dominated Austin’s burger stands, strip malls, and moontowers. DAZED AND CONFUSED isn’t a rework of teen movie cliches, nor is it empty nostalgia or a That ‘70s Show-style send-up. Linklater’s love letter to a bygone era makes DAZED a genuine and true portrait of its time and place.
DAZED also served as the launchpad for a murderer's row of talent, many of whom went on to dominate cinema through the 1990s and beyond. It also features the breakout role for a young University of Texas student named Matthew, who just so happened to come across the film’s casting director in an Austin hotel bar…
