Review of Bonnie and Clyde (1967) by Colin H — 01 Dec 2009
Bonnie and Clyde, two petty thieves who want to become big time robbers, meet up by chance and seek fame and fortune by the most reckless means necessary. The two characters develop nicely; lowly thefts develop into greater and greater crimes and before long they find themselves way over their heads. They give up and ignore the most simple things in life such as family, bringing about a stirring middle section to the film were Bonnie discovers how deep she has fallen, but cannot hope to get out again.
An edgy film to be sure, full of witty comic moments yet fueled by reckless foolishness which ultimately drives towards an inevitable (and horribly blunt) finale. If you don't mind older films and enjoyed the visuals of Public Enemies, give this a try.
