A Violent Man and His Deadly Moll: First came the crime noir capers from the US; then the French New Wave took inspiration and created something new; then came Bonnie and Clyde, the US' response to the changes to the idiom made by the French. Depicting the infamous crime spree undertaken by the titular couple, it's remarkable not just for the violence contained in the film, but for telling its story strictly from the criminals' point of view, creating an ambiguous experience. As a film, it opened the floodgates for the American Film renaissance that followed.

Round The Corner Fudge Is Made: The opening show in Washington Ensemble Theater's Homegrown season is Joshua Conkel's MilkMilk Lemonade, and it is about two young boys who come of age in a rural setting -- one is a "regular" boy and the other not so much -- told in a way that Seattlest correspondent John Allis found "light and enjoyable" in his review.
