Boxcar Bertha

Martin Scorsese / US, 1972 / 88 min.

Scorsese’s second long feature film, Boxcar Bertha, was an early exercise in portraying and stylizing violence. Before he broke through with Mean Streets, Scorsese filmed a typical low-budget production for B-film king Roger Corman, who thus hoped to cash in on the success of Bonnie & Clyde.
