Alright, alright, alright! DAZED & CONFUSED returns to the Original, Aug 27 & 30!

Writer/director Richard Linklater's honest, hilarious, and enduringly quotable film is a take on the last day of highschool in 1976 Austin, Texas. 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 an era gone by makes DAZED a genuine and true portrait of its time and place.
