5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for anyone who likes cinema, 3 May 2001
This brilliant and throughly entertaining essay on Bonnie and Clyde is one of the most outstanding works in the BFI Classics collection and an essential read not only for fans of the film, but for anybody with even a passing interest in the art of cinema and its history. Friedman's fantastically insightful and well-researched analysis is divided roughly into two parts: First, a study of the enormous impact which the film's release in 1967 had on popular culture, filmmaking and film criticism, leaving no stone unturned in the detailed explanation of Bonnie and Clyde's fundamental importance as a turning point in contemporary storytelling, and a representative symbol of the social changes of the decade; and secondly a detailed analysis of the film itself, going one by one through the most important and memorable scenes, extracting their meaning and significance, and putting them in context, all with unfaltering insight and academic knowledge, yet never falling into the use of obscure technicalities. That Friedman manages to cram so much fascinating information into a mere 75 pages, which read like a breeze, is an extraordinary achievement.
