  Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow become renowned bank robbers in the early Thirties but evemtually they are betrayed and killed.

Compelling movie that recalls the gangster films of the 30s but is much more violent. It is techincally brilliant using many French New Wave techniques. The final scene where Bonnie and Clyde are gunned down is a brutal masterpiece.

 

"It works as comedy, as tragedy, as entertainment, as a meditation on the place of guns and violence in American society." Roger Ebert
