Punch it, Baby!

The best film I’ve seen in the past few days was Sam Peckinpah’s The Getaway. I watched it with a friend on a rainy Saturday and was rather blown away. The Getaway is like the best film Jean-Luc Godard and Jean Pierre Melville never made together.


Up until now, the only Sam Peckinpah film I’ve really treasured was The Wild Bunch. I’ve always found the work of Peckinpah really messy and unrealized, which is not entirely his fault. The man had practically picture he made altered by studio forces.
