Sam Peckinpah - 1972
A rather cheery Peckinpah. Faces not too sweaty on an uncharismatic McQueen, shot closer, the further. Some flashbacks that operate, also with Peckinpah's slow-motion throughout.
There are some scenes of really self-conscious narration, very fast almost comical montage? Is this really Peckinpah's world? It's a bit miserable, but not in the usual way...
