Southwest Review presents an evening with two Texas films as part of the Dallas Literary Festival presented at The Texas Theatre. The first is a classic of the 1970s New Hollywood era. Set in a small, dying town in North Texas, The Last Picture Show was adapted from a 1966 novel by Larry McMurtry. Directed by Peter Bogdanovich, the film earned universal acclaim, winning two Oscars, with six other nominations, and features a murderers’ row of great performances by Cybill Shepherd, Jeff Bridges, Timothy Bottoms, Cloris Leachman, Ellen Burstyn, and Randy Quaid. On the second half of the bill is Josh David Jordan’s This World Won’t Break. The 2019 film tells the story of a down-and-out Texas troubadour named Wes Mulligan and was shot entirely in and around Dallas. A Q & A with the director and the novelist (and SwR movie columnist) William Boyle will follow the screening. The evening will close with a concert by Greg Schroeder, the actor and real-life musician who plays the role of Wes in the film.
