No Country for Young Men.
Colin the dudeJun 1, 2020A million little heartbreaks. Every single performance is a masterwork. Was sort of thrilling to see so many of the tricks Bogdanovich would go on to use in Paper Moon. See how good Riverdale could’ve been if they just kept it in the 50s? Got a huuuuge crush on Eileen…
demi adejuyigbeJul 15, 201290/100 A feel-bad movie for the ages, shot in shimmering b&w and populated by unlined young faces to make you swoon (plus careworn old faces to make you weep). Sonny's the nominal protagonist but the film bounces around Anarene at will, laying waste to any romanticized…

"Everything gets old if you do it often enough." "You've ruined it and it's lost completely."
Josh LewisApr 16, 2021i think what’s so devastating about this is the realization that the feelings that reach us first, like emptiness & desperation, arrive quicker because they don’t require anything else. but the feelings we seek and are promised, like affection & tenderness, take more effort…
LauraDec 25, 2021"Being crazy about a woman like her is always the right thing to do. Being an old decrepit bag of bones, that's what's ridiculous. Gettin' old" Peter Bogdanovich’s THE LAST PICTURE SHOW is an instant favorite. Full of melancholy, tenderness and the possibility of escape.…

So depressing, and it doesn't fully sink in till you get to the end. I wasn't fully on board because I didn't really connect with the characters, but it just takes a little time to settle in. Not going to be my favorite from Bogdanovich, but it will stick with me for sure.
Paulo Vitor likedThe Last Picture ShowGostei de ver esse filme e pensar que ele não foi feito pensando na parte comercial, apesar de que provavelmente foi pensado. Uma ótima representação da sociedade e dos adolescentes do Texas dos anos 50, ver que muitos problemas dessa época ainda são atuais é meio estranho.

Peter Bogdanovich's fine second film, The Last Picture Show, adapted from Larry McMurtry's novel by McMurtry and Bogdanovich, has the effect of a lovely, leisurely, horizontal pan-shot across the life of Anarene, Tex., a small, shabby town on a plain so flat that to raise the eye even 10 degrees would be to see only an endless sky.

It's meant to make you feel sad for what's lost, but a vitality throbs through it.
