If you loved Mysterious Skin, try Midnight Cowboy
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mysterious Skin, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Midnight Cowboy is
New York City streets at dusk, a cowboy hat, the hum of taxis. A young Texan and a limping con artist form an unlikely bond, a shared dream of escaping to Florida. Schlesinger frames their fragile friendship with understated nuance.
