Review of Badlands (1974) by Izet — 08 Jul 2020

One of the greatest, most visual poetic, abstract and one of the most realistic movies of the 1970s, Badlands is one of the greatest debuts of all time. With some of the most unpredictable, savage and sympathetic antiheroes in cinema, brought to vivid life thanks to the complex and marvellous performance from Hollywood icons Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek, along with the expertly written, insightful, darkly comedic, vivid, arresting script and excellent, off-beat, and genre-defining directing by Terrence Malick, along with the beautiful cinematography, capturing the visual beauty through it’s gruelling and brutal imagery, along with its fantastic and smooth editing, this movie stands as a true work of visual and narrative art.
