   Was 'desperate souls Dark City' a good movie?

   • The documentary “Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy” cites plenty. The film was revolutionary in its depiction of sex, and particularly in its acknowledgment of the existence of gay life. It tweaked the movie-cowboy archetype at a time when westerns allegorized the United States’ involvement in Vietnam.

   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.

   Is 'desperate souls' a good book?

   • At best, Desperate Souls suggests a series of passionate stories being told by a beloved family member, occasionally sprawling but never anything less than compelling. By the end there’s a sense of sadness that its shaggy pleasures are now in the past, rendering its faults comparatively minor.

   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).

   Was 'desperate souls Dark City' a portal to 'Midnight Cowboy'?

   • “Desperate Souls, Dark City” captures what a disarmingly intimate film “Midnight Cowboy” was, but the documentary is also an essay on how the movie acted as a kind of portal: a passage from the old world to the new one.

   Could 'Desperate Souls' change everything?

   • Yet the documentary acknowledges that neither Schlesinger’s film nor its era could change everything. “Desperate Souls” convincingly argues that there’s no other time at which Joe Buck (Jon Voight) and Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) could have become enduring movie characters, let alone have the tenderness between them depicted so subtly.

   Existing somewhere between the worlds of horror and thriller, Desperate Souls is a dark, soulful mystery with a well told story and an ensemble powerfully bringing that story to life. If you require all the usual perks of multiplex cinema, Desperate Souls may very well not be for you.
