Det grymma landet

Badlands

Both central performances are amazing, but only Spacek went on to become one of the most in-demand stars of the '70s.

...brilliantly composed with a loose, direction less swing that looks easy (but isn't), and a superbly delicate, literate voiceover from Spacek that conveys the bizarre babes-in-the-wood quality of their life together on the run.

...one of the great films of the flowering of American auteurs in the 1970s...

Badlands is perhaps most different from the rest of Malick's oeuvre in its straightforward narrative continuity and reliance on scenes that play out in real time.

Refracted through Holly’s naive, emotionally flat narration and Malick’s poetic visual style, this familiar tale is transformed into something strange and oddly beautiful.
