Schlesinger made emotionally resonant, socially conscious films that often portrayed outsiders, urban decay, and personal struggles.
Starting in British cinema with “kitchen sink” realism, he moved to Hollywood and made bold, boundary-breaking films.
His Oscar-winning Midnight Cowboy brought raw realism to American cinema and pushed cultural boundaries. Schlesinger’s work is notable for its compassion, visual style, and strong performances.
Essential films:
Midnight Cowboy (1969)
Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971)
Darling (1965)
Marathon Man (1976)
