• Features early work from go-to DP for Wes Anderson- Robert Yeoman
  • Certainly an updated take on bonnie and clyde (complete with impotency references)- really nice touch
  • Great jazz score
  • Van Sant’s content/narrative auteur mark and obsessions- youth (specifically troubled youth) exploration in full effect here
  • The best part of the film, which I love, is the reoccurring dream sequences of objects floating in blank (usually black) background with voice over. It starts from the beginning with prior to the film (which is really a full flashback). Really nice film form and stylistic touch
  • Top 10 film of 1989
  • Highly Recommend
