July 25 - 31, 2025
A wounded, boozy odyssey through post-Vietnam America, Jerry Schatzberg’s Palme d’Or winner pairs Gene Hackman and Al Pacino as two drifters bound for Pittsburgh with dreams of opening a car wash.
A wounded, boozy road trip through post-Vietnam America, Jerry Schatzberg’s Palme d’Or winner pairs Gene Hackman and Al Pacino in one of the great road movies of the 1970s. Bound for Pittsburgh with plans to open a car wash, gruff ex-con Max (Hackman) strikes up a wary bond with Lion (Pacino), a clowning, soft-hearted sailor en route to reunite with his estranged wife and child in Detroit.

Shot with golden-hour melancholy by Vilmos Zsigmond, Scarecrow captures a frayed American landscape in motion.
