Clark + Images Cinema Film Series: New Hollywood Auteurs: Bonnie and Clyde (1967)

The Clark partners with Images Cinema to present a film series that captures the explosion of creativity, critical acclaim, and box office success that Hollywood directors found after the fall of the studio system. All films are free and screened in the Manton Research Center auditorium on select Thursdays at 6 pm. Each film is introduced by a staff member of The Clark or Images.

The series kicks off with Bonnie and Clyde (1967). Half comic fairy tale, half brutal fact, Bonnie and Clyde is based upon the Barrow Gang that terrorized the South in the 1930s. Part of the changing of the guard in Hollywood, the film ushered in an era of violent and sexually liberated film making. Although Truffaut’s style was a primary influence, it reclaimed the American gangster movie from the nouvelle vague. Reflecting both folk legend and the affinity of the antiwar generation for outlaws, Bonnie and Clyde has a glee then so new, now so imitated. (Run time: 1 hour, 51 minutes)
