“One of the great last films of the early seventies.” —Cinephilia and Beyond

In this new digital color restoration of one of the rarest films restored from the Walker Art Center’s collection, the directors paint a revealing portrait of superstar actor, writer, photographer, and director Dennis Hopper.

A film crew follows Hopper as he begins post-production for The Last Movie on his New Mexico ranch and muses candidly about art, filmmaking, photography, sex, politics, and drugs as a leading figure in the shifting countercultural landscape of the early 1970s. 1971, U.S., DCP, 93 minutes. Recommended for 16+.

Screened in conjunction with the Louisville Photo Biennial and the gallery exhibition Famous: Lawrence Schiller at the Paul Paletti Gallery, August 31-September 29, 713 E. Market Street, Louisville. For hours, and more information paulpalettigallery.com
