The random meeting of two young men out in the wilderness of the city, searching for a piece of their American dream, or rather the hollowness of it all. Heart-wrenching, one of those films that you know is gonna stuck in your brain for a long time. What are your chances to find a former X-rated film on the shelves of local shops?
Oscars 1970 Best Film, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. Nominated for a Golden Bear in 1969. Amazing filmmmaking techniques, with moments of avant-garde montage sequences much like the adaptation of New York underground filmmaking. Haunting theme song. Dustin Hoffman shines, awkward to see John Voight so young. But this is 1969.
