Badlands
In 1959, Kit (Martin Sheen), who has killed several people, and
his new girlfriend Holly (Sissy Spacek), who watched him do it,
are adrift in a double fantasy of crime and punishment across
South Dakota and Montana. They're playing make-believe but the
bullets and bloodshed are very real.
The first of writer/director Terrence Malick's three landmark
films (1978's Days of Heaven and 1998's The Thin Red Line are
the others) was inspired by a real 1958 Midwestern killing
spree. Malick imaginatively transforms their story into a
proactive study of people alienated from everyday life - but
fascinating to us.
