   Is 'desperate souls' a good movie?

   • Still, “Desperate Souls” retreads a good deal of Vietnam and cultural revolution context which have become accepted norms. It also treats Martin Scorsese’s 1970s films as proof of the legacy of “Midnight Cowboy”, as if it doesn’t stand up in its own right. Letting the movie do the talking often works best.

   Was 'desperate souls Dark City' a good movie?

   • The documentary “Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy” cites plenty.

It tweaked the movie-cowboy archetype at a time when westerns allegorized the United States’ involvement in Vietnam.

   Was 'desperate souls' based on 'Midnight Cowboy'?

   • When the documentary opens with a closeup of Jon Voight, recalling an existential crisis by director John Schlesinger after the completion of "Midnight Cowboy," the film almost implicitly states that it will be about the creation of that film. Yet, "Desperate Souls" only lightly touches on the creation of "Cowboy."

   Did 'Desperate Souls' make a gay movie?

   • “Desperate Souls” notes that in his next film, “Sunday Bloody Sunday” (1971), he would break ground again in showing gay life (and, through Peter Finch’s character, perhaps acknowledge some of his own outsider’s perspective as a gay, Jewish, relatively upper-class Briton).

   Does 'Midnight Cowboy' deserve the weight of 'Desperate Souls'?

   • Whether “Midnight Cowboy” deserves or can bear the weight that “Desperate Souls” accords it, the director Nancy Buirski presents these issues with a good mix of small-bore and big-picture insights and only the occasional overstatement or fuzziness.

    Jun 30, 2023 · Nancy Buirski’s masterful Desperate Souls, Dark City And The Legend Of Midnight Cowboy, edited with Anthony Ripoli (A Crime on the Bayou, The Rape of Recy Taylor, By Sidney Lumet) is much more than a documentary on John Schlesinger’s multiple Oscar-winning film.
