I totally agree. I think it should be mandatory for all film students and photography students (which I teach ) too. It is so beautifully photographed. Not to toot my own horn but I got to photography Sissy once and brought a baton for her to twirl for a shot, which she did!
Questionable subject matter (and strangely choosing to shy away from some of the worst aspects of Starkweather to perhaps make Kit a more sympathetic character) but a hypnotic film nonetheless. I'd give the Springsteen song it inspired the edge though.
Watched this recently, having seen some of Mallick's later films...
It really creates a mood and atsmosphere in a way that you rarely see in movies today, but also in a way that you cannot do even in the best TV shows...
Compared to Bonnie & Clyde, not only does this film transports you to a diffferent time and place, but it also makes you feel as Holly does...The subjective point of view is there with the narration, but it isn't glamorised... It's just laid bare...

Yes! There are exterior shots in this film to die for. A very, very good film.
