Midnight Cowboy - Neo Western
Gritty, tragic tale of a wannabe cowboy’s descent into the underbelly of New York City.
Joe Buck, a naive Texan, moves to New York City hoping to make a fortune as a male prostitute. He befriends Ratso Rizzo, a sickly conman, and the two form an unlikely bond as they struggle to survive in the harsh urban landscape. Their friendship deepens as they face betrayal, dreams dashed, and the cruelty of their environment. A powerful exploration of loneliness, dreams, and the underbelly of the American dream, Midnight Cowboy is a raw and emotional portrayal of outcasts searching for meaning.
