Filmmaker Rustin Thompson journeys into the American West on a search for traces of what was once a center of small-town life: the movie theater. Between the stops along the way, Rustin poetically intersperses reflections on past and present hardships facing the film exhibition industry. THE LAST PICTURE SHOWS reminds viewers that even in a time of crisis, there are oases of community that remain, where the movie house continues to be a place of wonder, contemplation, and connection.
