Bonnie Clyde

Bonnie Parker et Clyde Barrow comptent parmi les plus célèbres criminels du XXe siècle. Avec leur gang, ils passent dans les années 1930 du statut de petits voyous à celui de braqueurs de banques et d’assassins. Pendant deux ans, ils se livrent à une course-poursuite effrénée avec la police, qui tient en haleine la presse et des millions d’Américains, avant d’être finalement abattus au cours d’une embuscade le 23 mai 1934.

Two American expatriates, Jack and Sam, unwittingly steal a drug lord's money when they rob a series of banks in Southeast Asia and become the target of the gang's vengeance. When Sam is killed, Jack turns to the love of his life, Pom, and the couple becomes a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde that takes the fight to the gang.

In 1971, during a time of massive transition in Hollywood and of social upheaval in America at large, director Don Siegel and actor Clint Eastwood created one of the most memorable figures in all of action cinema, a bad-tempered San Francisco policeman "Dirty" Harry Callahan, not averse to bending the rules to get his man. The maniacal 'Scorpio Killer' is on the loose and Callahan disregards procedure in his efforts to track him down, using his trusty Magnum .44 to dispense his own brand of justice.

Comedian Rich Hall hits the road as he takes us on his personal journey through the road movie, which, from the earliest days of American cinema has been synonymous with American culture. With his customary wit and intelligence, Rich takes us through films such as Bonnie and Clyde, The Grapes of Wrath, Thelma and Louise, Vanishing Point, Five Easy Pieces and even The Wizard of Oz. He explores what makes a road movie and how the American social, economic and political landscape has defined the genre.

In October 1969, hundreds of young people wielding lead pipes and clad in football helmets marched through an upscale Chicago shopping district, pummeling parked cars and smashing shop windows. Thus began the "Days of Rage," the first demonstration of the Weathermen, later known as the Weather Underground.

Altered States may no longer be widely known, but it makes a strong impression on its fans. The creators of the highly regarded TV series Fringe (now filming its fifth and likely final season) were so impressed that they borrowed major elements from the film: the use of sensory deprivation tanks combined with hallucinogens to unleash dormant mental powers; the belief that thought alone could open doors to other realities; and the actress Blair Brown portraying a brilliant woman hopelessly devoted to a possibly mad scientist who can never fully requite her love. ..
