NEW MIDNIGHT COWBOY (DVD)

Details

• Release Year: 1969
• Genre: Drama
• Plot: Daring. Provocative. Shocking. Compelling. Nearly thirty years after its original release, “Midnight Cowboy is still heartbreaking – and timeless” (The New York Observer). This Academy Award™ winner* for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay also boasts Oscar*-nominated performances by Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight, neither of whom have ‘ever been better on screen than they are here” (Chicago Tribune)!; ; When Joe Buck (Voight), a good-looking naively charming Texas “cowboy” makes his way to the Big Apple to seek his fortune, the only wealth he finds is in the friendship of Ratso Rizzo (Hoffman), a scrounging, sleazy, small0time con man with big dreams. Living on the tattered fringe of society, these two outcasts develop an unlikely bond – one that transcends their broken dreams and get-rich-quick schemes and makes Midnight Cowboy “that rarest of things: [a film] every bit as moving now as it was when it was [first] released” (Premiere Magazine). *1969
