Peter Bogdanovich’s The Last Picture Show (1971) a small, slice of life film following the lives of several high school students in a small, dried-up Texas town, depicting their coming of age against a stark black-and-white presentation of a time, place, and lives torn between change and stagnation.
Bogdanovich’s breakthrough film is an unforgettable drama and a true master-class in direction.. This evening will serve as a tribute to the life and legacy of Mr. Bogdanovich's career. As much an influence for his undying thirst for hollywood history and insighful interviews with filmmaking legends as his personal work on screen.
