Badlands

Martin Sheen Sissy Spacek w/d Terrence Malick

His first film...from 1973. Interpretative take on the Starkweather murders of the late 50's. This put him on every film buff's radar and deservedly so...it's a brilliant example of intelligent, artistic filmmaking.

Both leads excel. Mise-en-scene, pacing, camera placement, rhythm all place it among the very best. Now seen as one of filmdom's great calling cards.
