Terrence Malick's exquisite first film, in a new digital restoration. Badlands announced the arrival of a major talent: Terrence Malick. His impressionistic take on the notorious Charles Starkweather killing spree of the late 1950s uses a serial‐killer narrative as a springboard for an oblique teenage romance, lovingly and idiosyncratically enacted by Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek. The film introduced many of the elements that would earn Malick his passionate following: the enigmatic approach to narrative and character, the unusual use of voice‐over, the juxtaposition of human violence with natural beauty, the poetic investigation of American dreams and nightmares. This debut has spawned countless imitations, but none have equalled its strange sublimity.

Excellent
Bought this in the recent Criterion offer, and could not be happier with the purchase. Very quick delivery and excellent value for money. And the disc itself is perfect - I have the old Warner Blu ray, but would recommend upgrading to the Criterion. It's not an actual 4k disc, but looks like it! A beautiful film, lovingly transferred at the usual high standard of the criterion collection!!
