Midnight Cowboy 4K UHD (1969) [Imprint]

[dallywhitty]

Imprint are releasing John Schlesinger's 1969 masterpiece Midnight Cowboy on UHD in July.

Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight star in the undisputed classic drama Midnight Cowboy, making its worldwide debut on 4K UHD with Dolby Vision.

The winner of Best Picture at the Academy Awards, Midnight Cowboy has achieved a legacy like few other films. A dissection of the nostalgia of the New York nightmare, this raw, uncompromising picture takes you inside the minds of two desperate men chasing dreams in a city that offers none.

When Joe Buck, a good-looking, naïvely charming Texas “cowboy” makes his way to the Big Apple to seek his fortune, the only wealth he finds is in the friendship of Ratso Rizzo, a sleazy, small-time con man with big dreams. Living on the tattered fringe of society, these two outcasts develop an unlikely bond, one that transcends their broken dreams.

Based on the book by James Leo Herlihy, and directed by John Schlesinger (who won the Oscar for Best Director for his work on this film), Midnight Cowboy continues to stand the test of time almost sixty years since its release, now fully restored and ripe for rediscovery in 4K.

This Limited Edition 3-Disc Hardbox also includes the 2022 feature documentary Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy.

1500 copies only.
