Peter Bogdanovich’s poignant coming-of-age masterpiece, The Last Picture Show, arrives in a beautifully restored 4K UHD + Blu-ray edition from the Criterion Collection. Originally released in 1971 and set in a fading 1950s Texas town, the film captures the complexities of youth, love, and loss as high school friends navigate relationships and growing pains amid a backdrop of cultural decay. With standout performances from Timothy Bottoms, Jeff Bridges, and Cybill Shepherd, this modern classic remains one of the defining American films of its era.
