subUrbi@ / USA / 1996

Dazed and Confused 2 feels nowhere near organic as its precursor, but as that film was characterized by an if it feels good do it naïveté, this is a film brimming with spite and self-loathing. Its hostility and racism is a bit contrived, but — having come from strip-mall country myself — it’s otherwise spot-on.

    I always found this to be much more compelling than Dazed. I guess I spent more of my youth sitting around talking about how I’m going to be everything or I’m going to be nothing than I did getting high and playing my part in the high school hierarchy. Even if it comes from a spiteful place, we’ve all been sickened and frustrated when mediocrity passes for genius and insight. Especially when we know we could do so much better, right? Right?

    Nicky Katt is so underappreciated and deserves much more work than he’s gotten lately [has he done anything since Full Frontal?]. Steve Zahn may be a one trick pony, but I have never gotten tired of seeing him on screen.

    After seeing Zahn in this film, I’m sure Linklater could make a film comprised only of footage of Zahn and parked cars.
