Peter Bogdanovich’s crowning achievement gets the 4K nod from Criterion, with additional Blu-ray extras plus the entire belated sequel Texasville — in its color theatrical version or a B&W director’s revision. The oil boom has passed, and Anarene, Texas is dying out. Its isolated, bored teenagers are eager to test the rules. Bogdanovich faithfully transfers Larry McMurtry’s small-town drama to the screen with a score of terrific characterizations. Newcomers Timothy Bottoms, Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd, Ellen Burstyn and Randy Quaid shine, while deserving favorites Eileen Brennan, Cloris Leachman and Ben Johnson get the best roles of their careers. On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.
