Alternate Title: The Times of Peter Bogdanovich in Archer City, Texas

Directed by: George Hickenlooper

year: 1991 56 minutes

Official selection of the 1991 Toronto International Film Festival.

PICTURE THIS follows Peter Bogdanovich to Texas where he candidly reflects on the demise of his marriage, his affair with actress Cybill Shepherd, the murder of his girlfriend Dorothy Stratten, his collaboration with Pulitzer Price-winning novelist Larry McMurtry and the personal traumas suffered by the cast, crises, which bore an uncanny resemblance to the characters they were portraying. PICTURE THIS both humorously and provocatively deconstructs the layers of fiction and reality that went into the turbulent making of Bogdanovich’s triumphant work THE LAST PICTURE SHOW which was acclaimed as "the greatest film since CITIZEN KANE."

Genre: Documentary / Art / Visual Arts / Motion Picture
