BADLANDS | Open-Air-Kino

In the organizer's words:

Open-air cinema: Flingern-Lichstpiele 2025

Badlands
USA 1973 | 95 min. | OVR | D: Terrence Malick with Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek, Warren Oates

15-year-old Holly grows up with her despotic father in the American backwoods of the late 1950s. There she meets the attractive James Dean impersonator Kit, who makes a living as a temporary garbage man. A romantic love blossoms between the two, which is a thorn in her father's side. Kit shoots Holly's father in an attempt to run away in secret - and so begins the couple's rampage across the USA.

A late western that deals forcefully with America's Vietnam trauma and uses sometimes blatant staged means to this end, which are by no means an end in themselves. At the same time, Badlands poses the question of whether the war in South East Asia is really the cause of the much-invoked "loss of innocence of an entire nation".
