America, 1976. The last day of school. Bongs blaze, bell-bottoms ring, and rock and roll rocks.

Among the best teen films ever made, Dazed and Confused eavesdrops on a group of seniors-to-be and incoming freshmen. A launching pad for a number of future stars, the first studio effort by Richard Linklater also features endlessly quotable dialogue and a blasting, stadium-ready soundtrack.

Sidestepping nostalgia, Dazed and Confused is less about "the best years of our lives" than the boredom, angst, and excitement of teenagers waiting . . . for something to happen.

With a new 4K digital restoration of the director's cut, supervised and approved by director Richard Linklater and cinematographer Lee Daniel, Dazed And Confused is given the Criterion treatment and released on dual-format 4K UHD and Blu-ray 25th March 2024 from Spirit Entertainment.
