    FMS Screening Series features BADLANDS

    Time:  7:00pm

    The FMS Screening series continues this week with Terence Malick’s 1973 film BADLANDS, introduced by  screening series programmer and coordinator, Gabby Vines!

    It would hardly be an exaggeration to call the first half of BADLANDS a revelation…..   Compositions, actors, and lines interlock and click into place with irreducible economy and unerring precision, carrying us along before we have time to catch our breaths…
