Introduction by AFS Artistic Director Richard Linklater.

Among the most iconic and most unusual Texas films, Peter Bogdanovich’s adaptation of Larry McMurtry’s semi-autobiographical coming of age novel is a major touchstone of the New Hollywood. Starring Cybill Shepherd, Jeff Bridges, Timothy Bottoms, Ellen Burstyn, Randy Quaid, Ben Johnson and Cloris Leachman. Johnson and Leachman both won Academy Awards for their career-best work. Special extended Director’s Cut.
