(dir. Peter Bogdonovich, 1971)

One of the key films of the American seventies cinema renaissance, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW is set in the early fifties, in the loneliest Texas nowheresville to ever dust up a movie screen. This aching portrait of a dying West, adapted from Larry McMurtry’s novel, focuses on the daily shuffles of three futureless teens: enigmatic Sonny, wayward jock Duane, desperate-to-be-adored rich girl Jacy, and the aging lost souls who bump up against them in the night like drifting tumbleweeds.
