Badlands announced the arrival of a major talent: Terrence Malick. His impressionistic take on the notorious Charles Starkweather killing spree of the late 1950s uses a serial-killer narrative as a springboard for an oblique teenage romance, lovingly and idiosyncratically enacted by Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek. The film introduced many of the elements that would earn Malick his passionate following: the enigmatic approach to narrative and character, the unusual use of voice-over, the juxtaposition of human violence with natural beauty, the poetic investigation of American dreams and nightmares. This debut has spawned countless imitations, but none have equalled its strange sublimity.

Badlands announced the arrival of a major talent: Terrence Malick (Days of Heaven). His impressionistic take on the notorious Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate killing spree of the late 1950s uses a serial-killer narrative as a springboard for an oblique teenage romance, lovingly and idiosyncratically enacted by Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now) and Sissy Spacek (Carrie). The film also introduced many of the elements that would earn Malick his passionate following: the enigmatic approach to narrative and character, the unusual use of voice-over, the juxtaposition of human violence with natural beauty, the poetic investigation of American dreams and nightmares.

    die starke bildqualität, ein langsamer, fast schon psychedelischer erzählfluss und die fantastischen schauspieler machen diesen film zum meisterwerk

  • What?

    Ich glaube mein vorredner hat hier zum falschen Film einen Kommentar geschrieben. Badlands ist naemlich absult empfehlenswert! Hier die fantasiewelt eines naiven und kindlichen liebespaares das nach und nach in mehr problemen abdriftet, meisterhaft dargestellt! Sicher eine Inspiration fuer "True Romance" und "Natural Born Killers". Genial!
