Review of Midnight Cowboy (1969) by Matthew F. J — 31 Jan 2015
After being highly recommended by some friends I finally got to watch this film. Well the acting is absolutely spot on, both actors delivering extremely strong & multilayered performances. The subject is a little unusual but somehow everything works & the film manages to paint the portrait of New York during the late 60's, the midnight porn theatres, the gloomy areas, the prostitution.
... Back then it must have been a bomb on screen, 40 something years later the central subject of the film, male prostitution, isn't as shocking anymore but the film manages to keep a fresh vibe, and an incredible modernity.
Strong film.
