If you are in New York (Film Forum) and Los Angeles (Laemmle Town Center 5, Laemmle Royal) and in need of a documentary, a bit of Joe Buck and Ratso Rizzo should do. Desperate Souls, Dark City And The Legend of Midnight Cowboy is another fantastic and insightful documentary from director Nancy Buirski (By Sidney Lumet). Deandra Miranda and I talked about Buirski’s latest film and we also reflected on Midnight Cowboy.
If you have time to watch Midnight Cowboy this weekend, check it out before seeing Desperate Souls, Dark City And The Legend Of Midnight Cowboy. It makes a great double feature and your memory of the movie will be fresh going into the documentary. Desperate Souls, Dark City And The Legend Of Midnight Cowboy can be enjoyed, however, without even having seen the iconic feature. Director Nancy Buirski provides enough immersive insights and context to this 1969 classic that should be catnip for cinephiles.
Eric Holmes, Bruce Purkey and I review the documentary and Midnight Cowboy on the latest episode of CinemAddicts:
