FROM PAGE TO SCREEN 2023
In 1934, a waitress and an ex-con took to the road on a spree of bank robbing, violence and love. Immortalising Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway as the 20th century’s star crossed lovers, this pitilessly cruel, blackly hilarious, surprisingly romantic and shocking picture hit every target it sets its sights on, and blasted American cinema into a modern era.
This here’s Miss Bonnie Parker. I’m Clyde Barrow. We rob banks.
Reviews
“Adapting for the screen, whether it be a novel, a stage play, a biography, a historical event or a newspaper article, presents its own particular problems, perhaps more technical, but in no way less intricate than writing an original screenplay. I’ve spent decades ruminating on these issues, without necessarily having reached any firm conclusions, though I do by now, I suppose, have a few tentative suggestions. I’m delighted at the opportunity to visit Bridport to be able to kick some of these suggestions around.”
