If you loved The Last Picture Show, try Mask
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Peter Bogdanovich, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Last Picture Show, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Mask is
Romy Schneider meets a young Marlon Brando as a 1980s biker mom smuggles her disfigured genius son into suburban high school then bails into the desert at dawn. The boy’s quiet charm and her swaggering protectiveness collide in a neon-lit dead end. One late-night diner toast seals two lost souls as untouchables.
