Review of Midnight Cowboy (1969) by Evan T — 29 May 2011
John Schlesinger's "Midnight Cowboy" is a relic from the 60s. An important film for exemplifying the collision between French and American New Wave cinema. It's also one of the most controversial and daring choices for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
With strong performances from Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman and a series of obtuse and interesting flashbacks and montages, "Midnight Cowboy" is still very much worth a look, at least for it's historical context.
