Amazon.co.uk Review

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 labelled 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Bonnie & Clyde: they rob banks and glorify violence, 30 Mar 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Bonnie And Clyde [1967] [DVD] (DVD)
I lost my romantic idealization of Bonnie and Clyde ("We rob banks!") years ago when I saw a documentary that include Bonnie Parker's half naked bullet riddled body in the morgue. Arthur Penn's 1967 film might have romanticized the infamous Depression bank robbers, but its legacy was that it made violence in American films palatable. Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch" was accused of glorifying violence and was not enough of a success at the box office to get the credit for this dubious honor. The finale of "Bonnie and Clyde" had the virtue, so to speak, of being historically accurate.

The climax of the film is unforgettable (not even Sonny's death in "The Godfather" really compares) but it is really something of a coda to the rest of the film which is dominated by the five Oscar nominated performances of Warren Beatty (Clyde Barrow), Faye Dunaway (Bonnie Parker), Estelle Parsons (who won the Supporting Actress award for Blanche Barrow), Gene Hackman (Buck Barrow), and Michael Pollard (C. W. Moss). Beatty and Dunaway have never been better. Add into the mix Gene Wilder in his first film role as Eugene Grizzard, a nervous young man who had the misfortune of having his car "borrowed" by the Barrow gang (Wilder's next film would be "The Producers"; talk about starting fast in Hollywood).

In the final analysis I find this a very provocative film. It takes the "Robin Hood" image of thieves and once we are comfortable with rooting along these two crazy kids, the film begins to make us uncomfortable with that support. Bonnie and Clyde are neither heroes not anti-heroes, but rather counter-heroes. They are "good" because the law enforcement figures are clearly the modern counterparts for the Sherrif of Nottinghman's men. There is also something to be said that no matter how charming Clyde/Warren happens to be, that big goofy smile cannot stop a hail of bullets. But even in the end we want to deny the truth, that these two people reaped what they sowed. Mabye the moral ambiguity is just a strategic pose, to justify the romantic story of a gang of murdering bank robbers and/or the bloodbath finale. As I said, this is a provocative film. Watch it sometime and get provoked.

5.0 out of 5 stars glorifying violence within a moral dilemma, 1 Jun 2009
This review is from: Bonnie & Clyde - 40th Anniversary Edition [DVD] [1967] (DVD)
Texas is such a masochistic violent and volatile land ,that to fuel it 's heritage with such a charismatic account of ordinary criminals is rather malicious but ARTHUR PENN has taken spurious legendary villains and made them into icons in a frenzy of tragic moral innuendo which redeems his movie .

The commoners in Texas definitely do not attire as stylishly as these the two desperado lovers in the style set by dietrich and fairbanks as french haute couture and texans don't talk like trotsky too,but the guns battles and the laws this couple mock spare no one ,mostly the law enforcers while the innocent people are largely reprieved and Penn takes a macabre gory delight in staging his violent gun orgies with the texan state rangers .

This is the mother of gang genre and celebration of violent spectacle and it reflects on the vestiges of Vietnam ,maybe the success of the venture was secondary to the thirst for bringing the violence to home states in the form of romanticism as Robin hood prototypes .

The performances ,technical finesse along with production design is immaculate if inappropriate ,but as for authenticity -Terence Mallicks 1975 Badlands beats the movie by far .

The serial killing hedonistic hetero sexual couple here were rather ordinary though gorgeous to look at ,the antique cars are a treat to look at as are the somewhat vapid talents of beatty ,but he is a very personable young man and has a certain charm ,though i am sure clyde was rather an ordinary fellow,but then history is never interesting till romanticised and this is more romance with violence galore then an authenticated historical account ,though Faye Dunaway is great as Bonnie .

I don't think an accurate aesthetic version will ever be made,as today cinema has degenerated further into desperately gory movie clones with a mundane ambiguous immorality which some worship at the pulpit of tasteless vulgarity overblown by insipid characters played by mediocre stars .
This is vintage wine though made in Texan wasteland and Dunaway and Beatty do have delightful chemistry,even though the rest of the cast is perfunctory except Gene Hackman who is one of the quartet of the robbers essaying a loud mouthed man with a simplistic soul .

Glorifying violence is inappropriate but this is rather very affectively morbid and depressing but harrowing which highlights it's moral dilemma and becomes a significant debate on popular art and the treatise of existential philosophy .

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Classic, 16 April 2009
By Iain Summers - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bonnie & Clyde - 40th Anniversary Edition [DVD] [1967] (DVD)
From the start this movie promises something special, staying faithful to the true "legend" the performances are all pitched perfectly. With Estelle Parsons just inching it as Blanche Barrow, Clyde's sister-in-law who originally committed the story to paper in her prison cell.
Bought out of curiosity, as I remembered seeing the movie on TV years ago, I was riveted by the style; expert direction and stunning camerawork which truly evoke the depression era.
All this and the definitive version of "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" by Banjomeister Earl Scruggs.
Feeling fresher than films made in more recent times, any fan of Tarantino will come away from this movie the richer for the experience.
