If you loved Pánico en Needle Park, try El espantapájaros
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.

Both films are directed by Jerry Schatzberg, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Pánico en Needle Park, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El espantapájaros is
Hustlers with good boots and bad luck wander, drink with barflies and dream of a steel-gray carwash in Pennsylvania until the road runs out and none of them know why. A sun-bleached drift toward nowhere stalls on a carnival of strangers. Two broken men carry the whole weary trip on their shoulders. 1973’s rain-damp fatalism in jeans.
