The Top 100 Project

It took us nearly a decade to talk about a Terrence Malick film, but our first of his is his first-ever motion picture. Malick was an artist right from the start, although Badlands is unlike just about everything he's directed since because it's mostly a two-hander with a brief running time. Sissy Spacek and the Jimmy Dean-esque Martin Sheen have probably never been so monotone, but their deliberately detached performances stand out compared to other histrionic "serial killer on the road" characters. Malick has the entire cast playing it low-key, in fact, and he doesn't glamourize his main characters or make them into fun anti-heroes. Also, because this episode ends the Month Of Crazy Stupid Love, we briefly discussed the Steve Carell/Ryan Gosling rom-com Crazy Stupid Love.
