They’re young. They’re in love. They rob banks. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway are the archetypal lovers on the run who blaze a violent trail across Depression-era America. Based on a true story, this action-packed crime drama broke new ground in cinema terms for its truthful depiction of violence and its real impact. In this film, which is heartbreaking, funny, cruel and tender in places, Arthur Penn blends entertainment with scenes of brutality previously unseen in cinema. Bonnie and Clyde remains a groundbreaking piece of Hollywood cinema.
