I just finished watching the ‘ Last Picture Show by Peter Bogdanovich. I don’t get it. I mean here is a movie of pure genius . And yet he made perhaps one or two great films afterwards . ‘What’s up Doc? and perhaps Paper Moon. Nothing comes close to The Last Picture Show. A film with Citizen Kane type qualities. What happened next and why . To kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee her one great novel then nothing. The film ‘ The Exorcist ‘ a film of genius with the The French Connection then nothing , zero, zilch. Like burning stars, thank god for their moments of genius.
