The Last Picture Show - cinema review

18 march 2012 

directed by Peter Bogdanovich
(L'ultimo spettacolo, 1971, 118 min. - original version with Italian subtitles)
Bogdanovich based his lyrical masterpiece on the story of a few kids who try to fight the monotony and hypocrisy of provincial life in a small cinema on the verge of closure just before the outbreak of the Korean War, in a melancholy metaphor of lost innocence and of the collapse of an entire generation's illusions.
