A small town in Texas, in the early fifties. Sonny and Duane are best friends. Duane dates upper-class Jacey, the best looking girl in town. Sonny begins an affair with a sexually frustrated married woman. Sam "the Lion" owns the local poolhall and also a diner and a cinema theater. Sonny and Duane are so bored they decide to go to Mexico for a few days. And so on.
Second viewing. A true work of art, every single frame of it. It tells of an old man with a big heart and also of a young woman with no heart at all. And a lot more, but the images count more than the plot. The kind of film it's not much use talking about. Seeing it is everything.
