James Powers (11 KP) rated Dazed and Confused (1993) in Movies
Jun 5, 2017
Possibly my favourite movie and have watched and rewatched countless times.
The beauty of the movie is the familiarity of the subject matter, I was not born until 1979 but the trials and tribulations of teenage life presented here will be comfortable and accessible to any viewer.
The cast of (then) unknowns largely seem custom made for each individual character, and the casting of even the small roles was nailed with perfect execution.
The soundtrack keeps everything ticking over like a movie score, so much so I find that hearing a song from the movie will always bring my mind back to that scene (Bob Dylan "Hurricane" a standout)
Linklater would go on to do bigger films, but for my money... None better
