Depression-era drifters Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty) and Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway) embark on a life of crime. They crave adventure â€" and each other. Nothing in film history has prepared us for the cascading violence to follow. We learn they can be hurt â€" and dread they can be killed. The vivid title-role performances get superb support from Michael J. Pollard, Gene Hackman and Estelle Parsons, 1967 Best Supporting Actress Academy AwardÃ' winner. Director Arthur Penn keeps the film’s tone tough but never cruel. It continually dazzles, especially in the work of cinematographer Burnett Guffey (winner of the film’s second OscarÃ') and editor Dede Allen. Generations later, it’s still a thunderous, thrilling ride.

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 Fay! e Dunaway as the titular antiheroes, who barrel across the Sou! th and M idwest 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.
