The Last Picture Show at BFI Southbank
Posted on 11:23 PM by follow me
The film is based on the novel, the 1971. Written by Larry McMurty. This film is a classic evocation of American culture, epitomised by the 50s fashion. It is a stylishly shot, black and white movie that saw Cybill Shepherd make her cinematic debut and shot her, along with Jeff Bridges, into the Hollywood limelight. It is a very cool cult classic that appeals to both young and old.
I think Cybill Shepherd may just be my new style icon...gawgeous!
Focussing on life in small-town Texas in the 1950s, the film is a coming-of-age story of two high school football stars.The Last Picture Show caused controversy at the time for its notorious swimming pool scene in which characters were shown skinny-dipping at an indoor pool party. The adult content led it to be banned in certain states on its release.
