Bonnie and Clyde (1967)
Directed by Arthur
Penn this film stars Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Michael J. Pollard,
Gene Hackman and Estelle Parsons. During the Great Depression in the
United States two lovers and their gang go on a violent rampage of
crime.
For breaking the
production code this film opened up new levels of violence and more
mature representations of sex in cinema as part of the New Hollywood
movement. Unfortunately while the execution of the film was something
new the plot is fiction masquerading as history which is always
disappointing. This film may have been influential in it's day but
for modern viewers this does not necessarily help the film stand out
against the many films that have been made since.
3/5
