Artist Dazed And Confused

Writer-director Richard Linklater’s answer to American Graffiti, 1993’s Dazed And Confused is considered a stoner classic for its dusk-to-dawn party atmosphere, but it’s more melancholy than its reputation might suggest. With no greater ambition than securing Aerosmith tickets in the morning, Linklater’s aimless characters go through various rites of passage on the last day of school, each a little apprehensive about making a new transition.
