Review of The Last Picture Show (1971) by Matt M — 23 May 2013
The story of a group of kids just out of high school coming of age in a small American town. One of the most impressive feature film debuts, with which Peter Bogdanovich made an instant impact and was awarded comparisons with Orson Welles for the rest of his career.
The Last Picture Show is truly an amazing coming of age drama which captures the most genuine psychological and emotional sides of both growing up and life in a small town, employing a mostalgic style that is tastefully reminiscent of the great classics.
The black and white photography adds a compelling air of romanticism, while the talented young cast is impressive and adds great impact with great performances.
