Dazed and Confused
It was the last day of school in 1976. A time they'd never forget. (If only they could remember)
Directed by Richard Linklater
Produced by Alphaville Films, Detour Filmproduction
A warm, nostalgic ensemble comedy that captures the carefree chaos and social fluidity of a single day in 1976 Texas high school life.
The adventures of a group of Texas teens on their last day of school in 1976, centering on student Randall Floyd, who moves easily among stoners, jocks and geeks. Floyd is a star athlete, but he also likes smoking weed, which presents a conundrum when his football coach demands he sign a "no drugs" pledge.
