Nancy Buirski’s look inside the making of an X-rated Best Picture winner has found a home. Kino Lorber in association with Zeitgeist Films have announced the acquisition of all North American distribution rights to “Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy.” Zeitgeist will open the film theatrically in North America beginning at New York’s Film Forum in late June before expanding nationwide, followed by a digital, educational, and home video release by Kino Lorber.
Released in 1969, “Midnight Cowboy” tells the story of a Texas dishwasher to moves to New York City seeking fortune and the man he befriends while living in an abandoned building.
