Badlands (tit. ago. Badlands)
Terrence Malik
U.S. - 1973
dur.: 124 min.
After killing the father of his girlfriend Holly, the former dustman Kit Carruthers flees with her through South Dakota and Montana, leaving behind a trail of blood. The passion between the two (25 and 15 years respectively), if there was ever ends up in a hurry: Holly attends the murders with a mixture of bewilderment and indifference, Kit, on his own, without hate and kill, as posing as a James Dean, displays good manners and conformist ideas.
Malik has written the story inspired by a true story. The strength of the film lies mainly in alternating distance and emotional involvement: the violence is filmed with no emotional adhesion but told with a sense of the absurd that eliminates any complacency, as well as lacking any trace of the characters easy to rebellion. The irony and surrealism understated, the absolute lack of rhetoric, making it one of the most unusual and precious film of American cinema.
