Bonnie & Clyde (1967)

Stylish, cool and charismatic duo Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow played by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunnaway are exciting to watch in this iconic 60's film based on the real life characters of the same name.

The leading actors are beautiful and the mix of sexual chemistry, violence and comedy mix very well. I adored the costumes and the stylisation which lend a slight 'Western' like aspect to this film despite the fact that its not set in that time or that part of America. The extreme closeups of Bonnie remind me a little of french women in new wave films.

I liked this film and can understand why it was so influential and such a step away from the more suggary film of that time.
