http://theselvedgeyard.wordpress.com/2010/11/10/the-last-picture-show-epic-feast-of-dust-denim-desire-dreams/ I'm not sure The Last Picture Show (dir. Peter Bogdanovish, 1971) is "an epic feat of dust, denim and dreams" as the link above would have it, but it is a startling thrill of a movie, straight from the heart of the golden age of American filmmaking, roughly 1965-75. American loneliness in the American landscape...every time I see The Last Picture Show I want to read John Brinckerhoff Jackson's essays on landscape
http://www.brinckerhoff.org/JBJsite/index.html and Larry Levis' poems
