Scarecrow
Directed by Jerry Schatzberg1h 52m1973
Two drifters bum around, visit earthy women and discuss opening a car wash in Pittsburgh.
Our read: Scarecrow (1973) reads as a sombre, measured, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Sombre, measured, measured drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, measured.
