Earlier this year one of America's most influential film directors, Peter Bogdanovich, passed away. Bogdanovich's contributions to the world of cinema stretched far beyond his work behind the camera. In addition to directing, his love of movies radiated through work as a journalist, actor, producer, critic, and film historian. Since the news of his passing in January we have wanted to pay tribute by screening one of Bogdanovich's classic films. So, this month we are screening what many consider his masterpiece, The Last Picture Show (1971).
The Last Picture Show is the story of a group of high schoolers coming of age in a small, dusty, desolate Texas town in 1951. The movie stars a young Timothy Bottoms, Jeff Bridges, and Cybill Shepherd. Seats are still available so
