SCARECROW
USA | 1973 | DCP | 115 min.
Director: Jerry Schatzberg
Cast: Gene Hackman, Al Pacino, Richard Lynch
Winner of the Palme D’or at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, Scarecrow follows drifters Max (Hackman) and Lion (Pacino), as they form an unlikely friendship while hitchhiking across the country and dream of opening a carwash in Pittsburgh. As they journey through small towns and personal hardships, their bond is tested by Max’s temper, Lion’s fragile past, and a series of chaotic encounters. More than once, Hackman cited this as the favorite of his movies, adding ““It’s the only film I’ve ever made in absolute continuity…and that allowed me to take all kinds of chances and really build my character.”
