Description

Peter Bogdanovich’s The Last Picture Show is a poignant coming-of-age classic set in 1950s Texas, depicting the struggles, romance, and heartache of a group of young adults in a small, fading town. Featuring unforgettable performances from Timothy Bottoms, Jeff Bridges, and Cybill Shepherd, the film follows high school football players Sonny Crawford and Duane Jackson as they navigate love, loss, and self-discovery. Against the backdrop of a closing local cinema, the movie beautifully captures the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Now available in a stunning restored Blu-ray edition from the Criterion Collection.
