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 labeled 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.

Synopsis
Based on the true-life exploits of the notorious Depression-era bank robbers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Gun-toting drifter Clyde rescues dreamer Bonnie from her drab existence by regaling her with colorful tales of the outlaw life. Joined by Clyde's brother, his wife, and a gas-station attendant, they go on a crime spree through Texas and Oklahoma.

Video Description
The epic saga of Depression-era bank robbers Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, this road film juxtaposes easygoing humor with scenes of incredibly graphic violence. Controversial when released, it heralded the coming increase in cinematic violence and naturalism. Academy Award Nominations: 10, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor--Warren Beatty, Best Actress--Faye Dunaway, Best (Original) Screenplay. Academy Awards: 2, including Best Supporting Actress.
