The film that forever changed Hollywood filmmaking, Arthur Penn’s New Hollywood landmark injected a jolt of fresh energy into the studio system with its kinetic style and frank depiction of sex and violence. When Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway) catches Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty) stealing her mother’s car, it’s love at first sight, and it’s not long before the two are off on a crime spree across Depression-era America. As young gangsters in love, who attack the wealthy establishment and live by their own rules, Bonnie and Clyde capture the attention of an entire country. But how long can the pair live outside the law?
