Unmissable. Classic. Genius.
Badlands(1973) is undoubtedly one of the great first films of the cinema, and it is also one of the most influential works of the early 1970′s, a golden period of American film making. Young Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek take off together in the middle of nowhere in America. Based on a true-crime story, the movie is brilliantly composed.
“People who’ve worked with Terry either love him or hate him,”Spacek said. “I love him. ‘Badlands’ was a real turning point for me. We’d spend hours talking about things, and then the next day I’d look at the rewrites, and there’d be all the things I told him.”
Badlands is hugely inspirational when it comes to fashion and art now.
