Review of Bonnie and Clyde (1967) by Elliott F — 06 Nov 2010
Warren Beatty starred in and produced this absolutely wonderful biopic on America's most infamous crime duo: Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Opposite Faye Dunaway as Bonnie, Beatty and director Arthur Penn create a sympathetic look at two generally despised criminals and how their dangerous stealing-and-killing spree affected those around them, mainly the dim but innocent C.
W. Moss (Michael J. Pollard), Clyde's brother with a record Buck (Gene Hackman), and his wife, the shrieking Blanche (Oscar-winner Estelle Parsons). Simple in scope, brilliantly drawn for the screen, and ultimately tragic, Penn's Bonnie and Clyde is one of the best film from the 1960s, and feels more modern than half of the films that came out last year.
Absolutely stunning.
