One of the landmark films of the 1960s, Bonnie and Clyde
changed the course of American cinema. Setting a milestone
for screen violence that paved the way for Sam Peckinpah's
The Wild Bunch, this exercise in mythologized biography should
not be labeled as a bloodbath; as critic Pauline Kael wrote in her
rave review, "it's the absence of sadism that throws the audience
off balance." The film is more of a poetic ode to the Great Depression
 starring the dream team of Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway
as the titular antiheroes, who barrel across the South and Midwest
robbing banks with Clyde's brother Buck (Gene Hackman), Buck's
frantic wife Blanche (Estelle Parsons), and their faithful accomplice
C.W. Moss (the inimitable Michael J. Pollard). Bonnie and Clyde
is an unforgettable classic that has lost none of its power since
the 1967 release.
