Monte Hellman (Two-Lane Blacktop) goes deep into the shadowy world of cockfighting to craft this portrait of a man (Oates) who has vowed not to speak until he wins the ‘Cockfighter of the Year’ award. A surprisingly lyrical film, COCKFIGHTER is elevated by the cinematography of Néstor Almendros (Days of Heaven).
