Badlands
Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek star in this tale of two outcasts on a murder-spree in a film that is one of the most stunning directorial debuts in the American cinema. The film, writes British critic Robin Wood, 'produces a subtle, idosyncratic balance between engagement and detachment, complicity and horror'.
