“Achingly evocative of a time when Hollywood had the courage to invest in complex and morally ambiguous films and an indisputable masterpiece of American cinema.”
Terrence Malick’s incredible debut sees Sissy Spacek’s teenage Holly fall for Martin Sheen as a pychopathic greaser who leads them on a killing spree through the American midwest.
Loosely based on the real-life murder spree of Charles Starkweather and his girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate, in 1958, this is one of the essential films of the 1970s New Hollywood.
