Nothing much happens in Dazed and Confused, but that’s beside the point. Richard Linklater’s film, which takes place on the last day of term, looks at the feelings we have at leaving school – the aimlessness, the yearning and the optimism. The young cast were largely set for stardom, including Matthew, Ben Affleck, Jason London and Milla Jovovich. It might lack structure, but its whimsy is part of its enduring charm. The soundtrack alone makes it worth a watch.
