 Bonnie and Clyde Film Review - Time Out Film   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Reclaiming the American gangster movie after it had been stolen by the Nouvelle Vague, Penn's film was so successful (and so imitated) that it inevitably met with some grudging devaluation.
But it's still great: half comic fairytale, half brutal fact, it reflects the essential ambiguity of its heroes (faithfully copied from history and the real-life Barrow gang which terrorised the American South in the early '30s) by treading a no man's land suspended between reality and fantasy.
The annual Time Out Film Guide includes 15,000 films reviewed over the last 36 years by Time Out critics, covering every area of cinema: Hollywood mainstream and B-movie horrors, documentaries and avant garde, French, Far Eastern, classic silents and 1930s comedies.

One of the most influential American movies of the last four decades in its amoral attitude to the 'outlaw' seen from a modern psychological and social viewpoint.
Released two months before the anti-war march on the Pentagon, the protesters identified with Clyde Barrow (Beatty, who also produced) and Bonnie Parker (Dunaway) because they, too, were outside the law (the draft and drug laws).
Today, the tale of the bank-robbing couple still makes an impact and the recreation of the Depression era - sepia photographs, carefully selected music, dusty landscape and derelict towns - can be recognised as a breakthrough.
