The Last Picture Show - Η τελευταία παράσταση (1971) Timothy Bottoms, Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd (greek subs) 8/10

Αναρέν, Τέξας, 1951. Ο Σόνι κι ο Ντουέιν είναι κολλητοί φίλοι. Περνώντας το δύσκολο στάδιο προς την ενηλικίωση, ασχολούνται με αυτά που γνωρίζουν καλύτερα: σινεμά, μπάσκετ και κορίτσια. Η κοπέλα του Ντουέιν είναι η Τζάσεϊ, μια κοπέλα που την θέλουν όλοι στο σχολείο και το γνωρίζει. Όμως, η πόλη αργοπεθαίνει καθώς την εγκαταλείπουν οι κάτοικοι της αναζητώντας την τύχη τους σε κάποια μεγαλύτερη πόλη. Οι δύο νέοι θα διχαστούν ανάμεσα στο κάλεσμα μιας μεγαλύτερης τύχης και το να μείνουν στο Αναρέν όπου τους περιμένουν ένα μπιλιαρδάδικο και το σινεμά. In tiny Anarene, Texas, in the lull between World War Two and the Korean Conflict, Sonny and Duane are best friends. Enduring that awkward period of life between boyhood and manhood, the two pass their time the best way they know how -- with the movie house, football, and girls. Jacy is Duane's steady, wanted by every boy in school, and she knows it. Her daddy is rich and her mom is good looking and loose. It's the general consensus that whoever wins Jacy's heart will be set for life. But Anarene is dying a quiet death as folks head for the big cities to make their livings and raise their kids. The boys are torn between a future somewhere out there beyond the borders of town or making do with their inheritance of a run-down pool hall and a decrepit movie house -- the legacy of their friend and mentor, Sam the Lion. As high school graduation approaches, they learn some difficult lessons about love, loneliness, and jealousy. Then folks stop attending the second-run features at the movie house and the time comes for the last picture show. With the closure of the movie house, the boys feel that a stage of their lives is closing. They stand uneasily on the threshold of the rest of their lives. (The movie was adapted from the novel by Larry McMurtry). Director: Peter Bogdanovich Writers: Larry McMurtry, Peter Bogdanovich Stars: Timothy Bottoms, Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd
