Tonight MG takes on a couple of road-trip romances
" Romance on the run! "
Terrence Malick's breakout hit Badlands & Vincent Gallo's indie darling Buffalo '66 - but MG thinks these films reveal more about the audience than they do about their characters!
" Shifter Cars !! "
Romance-on-the-run is one of cinema's most enduring genres, '
from Gun Crazy to Wild at Heart -
- but tonight's selections are a strange breed all by themselves: films built to test the audience's relationship to their heroes, and make us ask why we identify with them and their sometimes ugly stories!
First up: Terrence Malick's breakout hit Badlands, in which an innocent-seeming Sissy Spacek follows handsome newcomer Martin Sheen on a cross-country killing spree -
.. then next up is Vincent Gallo's quirky indie Buffalo '66
- one of Erick's favorites!
