Großes Kino: "Thelma & Louise"

Road movie-action thriller-self-empowerment drama: "Thelma & Louise" is a cult film - "one of the best and most important films of the nineties"(filmstarts.de). And therefore just right in the "Great Cinema" series!

THELMA & LOUISE

USA 1991. D: Ridley Scott. D: Susan Sarandon, Geena Davis, Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Brad Pitt. 129 min. German version. FSK: 16

Thelma and Louise actually just wanted to get into their convertible for a weekend and escape the daily grind. But in a country bar somewhere in Arkansas, their dream is shattered when Thelma is almost raped and Louise shoots her attacker dead. So the two decide to flee towards Mexico - with the police hot on their heels.
Ridley Scott turns the tables in his legendary road movie by turning women into outlaws for the first time, who - to the songs of Marianne Faithfull, Tammy Wynette or the Temptations - discover the joy of independence and anarchy, despite their increasingly hopeless situation.
THELMA & LOUISE won an Oscar in the "Best Original Screenplay" category and a Golden Globe Award.
