Synopsis
Director Peter Bogdanovich revisits small-town Texas life in the long-awaited sequel to his 1971 masterpiece THE LAST PICTURE SHOW. It's been over 30 years since Duane Jackson (Jeff Bridges), Sonny Crawford (Timothy Bottoms), and Jacy Farrow (Cybill Shepherd) graduated from high school. Life is still bittersweet as the town prepares to host the county's centennial celebration. Duane struck it rich with oil, but is saddled with $12 million in debt and a shopaholic wife, Karla (Annie Potts). To make matters worse, his dysfunctional children are out of control: his teenage son has affairs with older, married women; his daughter is on a continuous carousel of divorces and engagements; and the twins are egg throwing, smart-mouthed adolescents. Duane himself is a local legend with the ladies, but he's completely thrown when Jacy, who's been living abroad, returns to his sleepy hometown to mourn the death of her child. Sonny, meanwhile, has become a local politician and businessman, but is increasingly forgetful and suffers from all too realistic hallucinations. Other cast members reprising their original roles from the first film include Cloris Leachman as Ruth Popper, Eileen Brennan as Genevieve Morgan, and Randy Quaid as Lester Marlow. TEXASVILLE, like its prequel, is based on a Larry McMurtry novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life in Texas in the 80s., 1 Mar 2006
By E. Currie - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although not well received by the critics, this sequel to The Last Picture Show is actually an excellent film.

Laced with explicit and tacit references to the old days, it rekindles that unique atmosphere meticulously created by Bogdanovich in the original. There are many contrasts, though. This film is set in summer amid stifling heat while its forerunner was icy cold, with the wild Texas wind howling away. the overall feel of the film is similarly hot and potent, a far cry from the desolation of the original.

The characters have moved on too yet many of their traits persist. Duane uncertain, Sonny looking like a lost soul, still seeing his own last picture show in his mind and Jacy elegant yet austere. Lester is still still awkward, and is now a manic banker.

Beautifully shot this really is a commendable effort to continue the story, albeit decades on. The spirits of Benny and Sam the Lion live on.

1.0 out of 5 stars Texasville does not make much sense, 11 Nov 2007
By F. Panin "FabioStar" (Holland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had some expectetions on this movie from Customer reviews, however they have been turned down after watching it. Put it simply, this movie does not make much sense. There is little path, nor message. I would be curious to find out if these exist in the original novel, but I think I will not bother. Actors play well, but it is like they did not play togheter, they were reharsing on their own.
The only good point for me, an European who has lived in the USA countryside for a while, is that the movie conveys a certain "good old time" feel.
