Criterion Collection: Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid Review
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is now available in the Criterion Collection.
Sam Peckinpah is extremely relevant to my evolution as a cinephile. Straw Dogs was the first Criterion Release I ever owned, given to me as a birthday gift many years ago by a film-loving friend who introduced me to many important films I might not have seen otherwise. I was captivated by the film’s brutality and depth. These are themes that define most Peckinpah films and part of what makes him such a controversial, yet important, filmmaker. Surprisingly, this was my first viewing of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Unsurprisingly, it delivered exactly what I wanted from a gritty 70’s western directed by one of the strongest auteurs of his time.
