Een paar vrienden uit Texas, die al naar de veertig lopen, worden achtervolgd door pech. Ze proberen nog iets van hun leven te maken, maar blijven steeds met lege handen staan, hoewel ze de hoop blijven koesteren dat eens het geluk hen zal toelachen. Een leuk, melancholiek portret over twee heel menselijke wezens. Een onafhankelijke film voor slechts dertigduizend dollar gemaakt.

Description
------------------
Eagle Pennell died a "hopeless drunk," according to a memorial article in the Austin Chronicle by his friend Louis Black. His other friends would have sadly agreed with that. He was 49 at his death, in 2002. Twenty-three years earlier, in 1979, he wrote and directed a film named "The Whole Shootin' Match" that you may never have heard of, but which had a decisive influence on American independent film.

When Robert Redford saw it at the Park City Film Festival, it awoke him to the possibilities of low-budget indie filmmaking. He started the Sundance Institute, and soon after the Park City festival became the Sundance Film Festival. When Richard Linklater, then living in Eagle's hometown of Austin, saw it, he decided to become a filmmaker himself, and his "Dazed and Confused" owes a lot to Pennell.
