Cinematheque: The Wild Bunch

Anti-Westerns series: In Peckinpah’s revered classic, a group of mostly aging bank robbers (led by Holden as Pike Bishop) head south to pull off one last heist for a volatile Mexican warlord…while a posse closes in. Violent, brilliantly edited, and brimming with tour-de-force action sequences that blend seamlessly with quiet, reflective moments. The Wild Bunch is a true masterpiece of cinema. With William Holden, Ernest Borgnine and Robert Ryan.
