Why? I wonder if Bogdanovich's film doesn't at last explain what it was that Pauline Kael, and a lot of the rest of us, lost at the movies.” - Roger Ebert (Jan 1, 1971) ( Synopsis from Criterion) “Bogdanovich is so plain and uncondescending in his re-creation of what it means to be a high-school athlete, of what a country dance hall is like, of the necking in cars and movie houses, and of the desolation that follows high school graduation that the movie becomes a lovingly exact history of American small-town life.” - Pauline Kael, New Yorker (Oct 9, 1971) “Movies create our dreams as well as reflect them, and when we lose the movies we lose the dreams.

Set during the early ’50s, 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 - the enigmatic Sonny (Timothy Bottoms), the wayward jock Duane (Jeff Bridges), the desperate-to-be-adored rich girl Jacy (Cybil Shepherd) - and the aging lost souls who bump up against them in the night like drifting tumbleweeds, including Cloris Leachman’s lonely housewife and Ben Johnson’s grizzled movie house proprietor. THE LAST PICTURE SHOW is one of the key films of the American cinema renaissance of the1970s.
