I bought this because I'm a sucker for quality. When this was released as a feature film 40 years ago it received eight Academy Award nominations. Only recently available on DVD, the cast list is to dream for. Actors who don't look like they are playing a part - they 'are' the characters they represent. It is Peter Bogdanovich's finest film. Shot in black and white it makes the viewer feel what it is like for young people hopeless in a dying Texas town. The contrasting characters relate to each other in believable ways in an episodic, human story in powerful ways that almost leave you breathless. Although the Soecial Feature add little - this is the Director's Cut, a guy hailed as another Orson Welles, even!
This is one of my favourite films, very atmospheric, superbly acted by young and up and coming actors, names that would go on to become world renowned superstars. The cinematography is outstanding in black and white. The film was considered very risqué at the time, by filming it in black and white they got around the censorship in the USA as black and white films at that time were considered to be Art-house.
