Bonnie and Clyde - Ultimate Collector's Edition description 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. --Jeff Shannon |

| "Bonnie and Clyde"
Newly Remastered and Rereleased Amos Lassen There is one great line about "Bonnie and Clyde"--"They're young...they're in love...they rob banks" and they kill people--lots of people. "Bonnie and Clyde" is a brilliantly made, groundbreaking film that chronicles the lives of two of America's most infamous criminals. It disappeared from video shelves a few years ago but today, March 25, 2008, it is back and more glorious then ever in a new digitally remastered DVD with lots of extras/ "Bonnie and Clyde', aside from being entertaining, is an important 1960's landmark film because of its violent ending which helped to end the old Hayes code and because it shaped the image of the anti-hero. It was condemned by many at the outset and praised by many others. It superbly recreates America of the Depression Age. Faye Dunaway is Bonnie and Warren Beatty is Clyde and they are wonderful. They are joined by Gene Hackman, Michael J. Pollard and Estelle Parsons who all give brilliant performances. The film is innovative and it deals admirably with the reality and the mythology of the Barrow gang. As the film links violence with comedy, it hits us on two different levels. The final scene is choreography of murder which has yet to be copied. It is a fascinating "danse macabre". And, of course, there is sex. There are hints of homosexuality and lots of sexual imagery and the one scene of oral sex is unique to movies made when this one was. The film is absolutely amazing and is rated by many as one of the best movies ever made. I have to agree. The DVD release comes with three options--just the movie, a two disc set and the deluxe special edition which I have. The extras include a copy of the press book, a book of photos, deleted scenes, three documentaries and Warren Beatty's wardrobe tests. This edition is a definite keeper. |
