Bonnie and Clyde
1967 | Crime | USA | Directed by Arthur Penn
Overview
Depression bank robbers as beautiful, doomed youth. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway made violence balletic, and the slow motion bloodbath ending forced a new ratings system into being. Produced amid studio collapse, it announced the American New Wave: movies could now end badly and mean it. French New Wave genre games with Hollywood gasoline. The 1970s began here.
