The Last Picture Show

“When I was in high school they put out a VHS of this movie, The Last Picture Show, and this movie just blew me away. Just so beautiful. Takes place in Texas. A little dirty too. So this film is kind of one that I feel helped me mature and helped me appreciate different things. Peter Bogdanovich is like one of the best to listen to for commentaries, so I'm excited to hear him talk about this movie too.”

“Last Picture Show by Peter Bogdanovich, based on the great book by Larry McMurtry. Really specifically observed and very funny. And it’s a film that I come back to a lot. I find it very comforting. It also has such a… like, a wonderful texture. Bogdanovich made some great films, but this to me is the greatest.”

“If you have not seen all of Bogdanovich’s work, you better. And you better read everything he gave us on film and about other filmmakers, including John Ford. The greatest teacher about film, and The Last Picture Show is one of my favorite movies of all time. Such incredible performances.”
