Den sista föreställningen

The Last Picture Show

In essence, it’s a soap, but director Peter Bogdanovich plays it as a John Ford-style ‘closing of the frontier’ Western, with ugly-beautiful images of a West that has swapped cattle for oil but failed to strike it rich...

Unmissable.

...for the members of the New Hollywood, it was a briefly opened window on revitalized filmmaking and venturesome storytelling.

A worthy tribute to Bogdanovich’s idols, Orson Welles and John Ford.

Bogdanovich's finest effort; bleak and beguiling.
