Nostalgic Behind the Scenes Photographs From the Making of ‘Dazed and Confused’ (1993)

Dazed and Confused is a 1993 American coming-of-age comedy film written and directed by Richard Linklater. The film features a large ensemble cast of actors who would later become stars, including Jason London, Ben Affleck, Milla Jovovich, Cole Hauser, Parker Posey, Adam Goldberg, Joey Lauren Adams, Matthew McConaughey, Nicky Katt, and Rory Cochrane. The plot follows various groups of Texas teenagers during the last day of school in 1976.

When asked in an interview what he wanted to do after Slacker, Richard Linklater said “‘I want to make this teenage rock’n’roll spree.’ I knew I wanted the story to take place on one day in the spring of 1976, but at one point it was much more experimental. The whole movie took place in a car with the characters driving around listening to ZZ Top.” Lee Daniel, the director of photography, described the concept: “It would have been two shots—one of a guy putting in an eight-track of ZZ Top’s Fandango! and one of two guys driving around talking. The film would be the length of the actual album, and you’d hear each track in the background as a source.” Eventually Linklater decided to write a script “to represent different points of view”, the first draft of which took a month to complete. Universal Studios fast tracked production of Linklater’s script, jumping ahead of 30 other films which were in development at that time.

The film grossed less than $8 million at the U.S. box office. In 2002, Quentin Tarantino listed it as the 10th best film of all time in a Sight and Sound poll. It ranked third on Entertainment Weekly magazine’s list of the 50 Best High School Movies. The magazine also ranked it 10th on their “Funniest Movies of the Past 25 Years” list.
