	Arthur Penn
		Penn also captures an era-defining mood of post-Watergate paranoia and despair, a feeling that the government is at least as crooked as the criminals and that corruption reaches into the very highest echelons of power (something echoed ten years later in Target).
		Penn's next work, Dead of Winter (1987), is one of his most nondescript and routine films, one of the very few times in his career when he seems to have taken on a project that he felt no connection with or even any great admiration for.
		Arthur Penn was, in his heyday, one of the most complex and interesting figures in American cinema.

	Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde
		The American Depression-era criminals and Penn's glamorous incarnations appear to share little in common, except their legendary ability to generate, in the media and the public, intense and often opposing reactions.
		Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde, edited by Lester D. Friedman for the Cambridge Film Handbooks series, brings together a selection of essays that explore historical, cultural, and contemporary issues.
		Paying homage to Kurosawa for "inspiring" his "spastic, yet balletic" conclusion, Penn claims his decision to formally set the film in the past was influenced by the ways in which the story of Bonnie and Clyde became a cipher for an element of Depression-era society.

		Penn understands the poetry of close camera work, acknowledging that words are to the theater what actions are for film ("A look, a simple look, will do it"), his use of lighting and sound are stylistically and intellectually sophisticated, but it is his themes, rather than his style, which propel his pictures.
		Penn had made an inauspicious Broadway debut as director of "The Lovers", a play which closed after four performances in 1956, but he fared much better with his second effort, Gibson's "Two for the Seesaw" (1957), starring Henry Fonda and Anne Bancroft which ran for 750 performances.
		Penn might have abandoned the cinema altogether had Warren Beatty not persuaded him to direct "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967), a complex, romantic myth based on the real Barrow Gang of the American Depression-era.

	Arthur Penn - Films as Director:
		Arthur Penn has often been classed—along with Robert Altman, Bob Rafelson, and Francis Coppola—among the more "European" American directors.
		Penn's films, especially after Bonnie and Clyde, tend to be technically experimental, and episodic in structure; their narrative line is elliptical, under-mining audience expectations with abrupt shifts in mood and rhythm.
		Penn established his reputation as a director with Bonnie and Clyde, one of the most significant and influential films of its decade.

		This vastly underrated Arthur Penn film from the mid-1970s ranks as one of the era's nastiest and most fascinating pieces of business, a detective story that shuttles back and forth between Hollywood and the Florida Keys, with a plot nearly as complex as Chinatown.
		The plot is complex to describe but all is very competently put together into a flawlessly structured whole by the great Arthur Penn. The ending allows for no easy resolution and may have effected the way the film was intitially received but it is a gutsy exit.
		Written by Alan Sharp, "Night Moves" incorporates elements from the novel "The Stunt Man" which director Arthur Penn was originally supposed to direct (he had to pull out to a prior commitment at the last minute)and features a number of marvelous suspenseful set pieces.

	Blogcritics.org: DVD Review: Alice's Restaurant (1969 Arthur Penn Film)
		As the follow-up to his big 1967 breakout hit film Bonnie and Clyde, director Arthur Penn made a movie in 1969 based on Arlo Guthrie's famous rambling draft-dodging folk song "Alice's Restaurant." Best I can tell, this movie was not a big hit, and doesn't particularly have a big reputation today.
		Arguably though, the movie is a far greater artistic achievement than Arlo's sweet and catchy but somewhat shallow song.
		Now, I wouldn't say that Penn was trying to make quite that much of a Profound Statement.
