Fact-based tale of a 15-year-old and her 25-year-old boyfriend who embark on a killing spree in the Dakota Badlands of 1958., “He wanted to die with me and I dreamed of being lost forever in his arms.” A young couple goes on a Midwest crime spree in Terrence Malick’s hypnotically assured debut feature, based on the 1950s Starkweather-Fugate murders. Fancying himself a rebel like James Dean, twentysomething Kit (Martin Sheen) takes off with teen baton-twirler Holly (Sissy Spacek) after shooting her father (Warren Oates) when he tries to split the pair up. Once bounty hunters discover their riverside hiding place, Kit and Holly head toward Saskatchewan, leaving dead bodies in their wake. As the law closes in, however, Holly gives herself up — but Kit doesn’t hold it against her, as he basks in his new status as a momentary folk hero. Inaugurating the use of voice-over narration that he would continue in Days of Heaven (1978) and The Thin Red Line (1998), Malick juxtaposes Holly’s flat readings of her flowery romance-novel diary prose with the banal and surreal details of their journey. Singularly inarticulate with each other, Kit and Holly are more intrigued by mythic celebrity gestures, as Holly peruses her fan magazines and Kit commemorates key moments before orchestrating a properly dramatic capture for himself (complete with the right hat). The sublime visuals lend a dreamlike beauty to the couple’s trip even as their actions are treated casually; Malick neither glamorizes Kit and Holly nor consigns them to the bloody end of their fame-fixated predecessors in Bonnie and Clyde (1967). With the couple’s opaque dialogue and Holly’s fanzine dream narration, Malick further denies an easy explanation for their crimes. Made for under 500,000 dollars, Badlands debuted at the 1973 New York Film Festival, along with Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets, and was released within months of two other outlaw-couple road movies, Steven Spielberg’s The Sugarland Express and Robert Altman’s Thieves Like Us. Although Badlands did not make an impression at the box office, its pictorial splendor and cool yet disquieting narrative established Malick as one of the most compelling artists to come out of early-’70s Hollywood., Fact-based tale of a 15-year-old and her 25-year-old boyfriend who embark on a killing spree in the Dakota badlands of 1958., Influential cult classic, starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek as the amoral young couple whose killing spree terrorises backwoods America., Kit Carruthers, a young garbage collector and his girlfriend Holly Sargis from Fort Dupree, South Dakota, are on the run after killing Holly’s father who disagreed with their relationship. On their way towards the Badlands of Montana they leave a trail of dispassionate and seemingly random murders. A very intriguing narrative without judgements, and lacking the usually sensational approach of this genre. Very good acting and directing, and beautiful photography. The script was based upon the true story of the Charles Starkweather and Caril-Ann Fugate murders in 1958., Dramatisation of the Starkweather-Fugate killing spree of the 1950s, in which a teenage girl and her twenty something boyfriend slaughtered her entire family and several others in the Dakota badlands., Dark, unsettling drama about a disillusioned young couple in 50s South Dakota, who go on a killing spree, hiding out in the area’s badlands as the law closes in. An angry young refuse collector who feels spurned by society kills his dreamy, lovestruck teenage girlfriend’s father when he forbids him from seeing her. The pair then take off on a violent journey towards infamy. Based on a series of real-life murders in Nebraska in 1958., A stark, dreamy thriller following two young innocents on a murder spree across America, following them as they progress from fugitives to national celebrities.
