Review of The Wild Bunch (1969) by Hector H — 14 Jun 2011
Sam Peckinpah's American New Wave masterpiece piques. It's notable because it uses violence as an artform, pioneering slow motion techniques that would become commonplace in movies that involve flying bullets.
It was a double feature of Mean Streets and The Wild Bunch that refashioned the medium of film into something wildly intriguing to Kathryn Bigelow. She praised The Wild Bunch for its 'immediacy and muscularity,' a spot-on assessment that would later go on to define her career as well.
