“This is a jewel of American cinema.”
Gene Hackman and Al Pacino star as Max and Lion, a couple of homeless drifters who meet on the road in California and agree to become partners in a car-wash business when they reach Pittsburgh. But their journey east doesn't quite go according to plan... Scarecrow is one of the obscurer offerings from New Hollywood: an unsee quietly devastating film about friendship, dreams, and the loneliness of drifters.
