This is it: the ultimate teen film. Dazed and Confused chronicles the last day of school in a Texas high school in the 1970s. It’s all here: hilarious comedy, authentic songs, and genuine nostalgia. Underneath all of the drug-induced insanity – indeed, what really makes the film exceptional – is a deep understanding of youth, love, and the politics of high school. An unforgettable cinematic experience unlike any other. If you haven’t seen it already, you’re missing out. If you have seen it – you’re due to see it again!
