Review of Bonnie and Clyde (1967) by Ross M — 16 Nov 2008
An astonishing Gangster Thriller. All the performances are great and they all clearly did their very best.
I loved Faye Dunaway as Bonnie Parker and she used a wide range of emotions in a fantastic way. Gene hackamn was the best I have ever seen him so far and Warren Beatty, in the first film I have seen of his, was great too. Estelle Parsons deserved her oscar win for best supporting actress as the Panickky wife of Clyde brother Buck. But my favourite performance was Gene Wilder as a man who's car is stolen. His part is only 10 minutes long, but it is easily the most memorable part of the film.
The direction is good, as was is the editing (no nomination?) as were the acurate costume choice and sets, depicting the era very believably. The music suited the film too.
This is one of the best films ever made. It really is a pillar in film and one of the best of the 60's and one of the best of all time too.
