BATH — Patten Free Library’s “On the Road” film festival concludes Tuesday, Oct. 29 with Arthur Penn’s 1967’s Academy Award-winning “Bonnie and Clyde.”
Adrift in the Depressionera Southwest, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker embark on a life of crime. They mean no harm. They crave adventure and each other. Soon we start to love them too. But nothing in film history has prepared us for the cascading violence to follow. “Bonnie and Clyde” turns brutal.
We learn they can be hurt and dread they can be killed. “Bonnie and Clyde” balances itself on a knife-edge of laughter and terror, thanks to vivid title-role performances by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway,
As film lovers have since discovered, it’s no ordinary gangster movie.
Show time is 6:30 p.m. in the community room.
The film is not rated and has a run time of 112 minutes. Free admission and refreshments will be provided.
