One of the first New Hollywood movies to return to the big screen! Arthur Penn's American film Bonnie and Clyde is now part of the golden history of world cinema. The story of two sympathetic robbers is set in 1930s America and is based on real events and real characters. OLDIES CINEMA - this is a quartet of immortal American films that will return, often after more than half a century, back to the silver screen for this summer only.
Bonnie Parker was born in Rowena, Texas in 1910. In 1931 she was working in a coffee shop. Then she got into crime. Clyde Barrow came from a land-renting family. In his youth, he robbed a gas station. He was sentenced to two years, but was released in 1931 for good behaviour. At this point, the film's own story of the criminal duo begins, conceived rather balladically and with a certain detachment, before finally building up to a final orgy of cruelty, though in today's cinematic context long surpassed by the amount of blood. The film was highly acclaimed at the time it was made and, of course, won many awards. To name but a few, there was an Oscar for Estelle Parsons' supporting role and Burnett Guffey's cinematography, but the film went on to receive eight more Oscar nominations! Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, of course, impressed in the lead roles. The latter took home the British Academy Award for the film in addition to her Oscar nomination.
