Synopsis
He was 25 years old. He combed his hair like James Dean. She was 15. She took music lessons and could twirl a baton. For a while they lived together in a tree house. In 1959, she watched while he killed a lot of people.
Based upon the real life Charles Starkweather and Caril-Ann Fugate murders that shocked America, Terrence Malick's masterpiece of 1970s cinema is a mystical delight for the senses. An astonishing début, this is a cult classic not to be missed.

Nobody is ever good enough for your daughter, are they? Echoing Badlands in that respect, Wave will strike a chord with any parent. The film has one valuable advice for young suitors however, a nice big fish can go a long way.
Director Rob Hurtt's films have been described by Ricky Gervais as "the strangest thing i've ever seen" and as "truly odd and quirky film making" by Michael Palin.
