About

You can stream Rodeo (1969) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

Shot in four days during the 1968 National Rodeo Finals in Oklahoma City, this lyrical documentary takes you inside the arena atop a 2800 lb bull. Watch Freckles Brown, a legendary cowboy, conferring with a young Larry Mahan, the previous year's champion and see crowd favorite Myrtis Dightman trying to hold his own in a dramatic ride. "Rodeo" shows the classic struggle of man against beast, a matter of life and death. Dick Rosmini's hypnotizing folk-fusion soundtrack and an intricate sound mix add to the climatic result.

Dust and adrenaline collide in the Oklahoma City arena during the frantic four-day rush of the National Rodeo Finals. You get an unfiltered view of the chaos from atop a 2800-pound bull as legends trade advice in the dirt.
