The Bikeriders

USA, 2023,116 min.

Director: Jeff Nichols

Starring: Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Michael Shannon, Jodie Comer.

Men play men's games.

Sixties America. The era of the sexual revolution, unruly rock and rollers, carefree hippies and rebels without a cause.

But above all, it was the golden age of bikers: like desperate vagabonds intoxicated by the free wind of the highways, they carelessly rode their Harleys or Triumphs. That summer, freedom belonged to the fearless ...

If you doubt that cinema can change your life, talk to Johnny from Chicago.

One night he watched on television classic biker movie with Marlon Brando and was so inspired to start his own motorcycle club with the promising name "The Vandals".

Yesterday's losers raced through the Midwest at insane speeds with wild engines roaring, annoying local sheriffs and scaring farmers.

Anyone who joined this community drew confidence and strength from it, following the code of honor of the male brotherhood.

But over time, the club of these good guys, who have gasoline and a little oil in their blood, and "a fiery engine instead of a heart" - began to turn into something threatening, terrible and unpredictable.

And then she appeared, emerging from bluish clouds of cigarette smoke in a dimly lit bar.

No one felt threatened. No one heard the distress signal over the unison roar of the engines.

And no one had noticed before that their world was retreating in the face of devastating violence, lawlessness and chaos?

Which is more important, love or loyalty to the brotherhood of men? Defend yourself or succumb to risky and questionable notions of duty and honor?

Events begin to unfold in a wild whirlwind, but one thing is clear - the life of bikers will never be the same again.

This cruel , the intense retro-drama takes us to the golden age of Hollywood, combining the best genres - an exciting western, a gangster film and a love story.

Director Jeff Nichols does not hide, but openly emphasizes references to cult "biker" films: "The Savage", " Carefree Driver", "Wild Angels" and others.

Excellent musical presentation, stylish soundtrack consisting of iconic music of the time: rock and roll, hard rock, blues, orchestral compositions, as well as sonorous wind whistles that a powerful chorus of steel machine engines beats.

The film is based on the true story of the Chicago motorcycle club, immortalized in photographer Danny Lyon's book, one of the most famous nonfiction works about biker culture.

Three reasons why this movie should be watched not only by big road romantics, but also by ladies.

We are waiting for a wild ride through the US Midwest in the company of the stunningly sexy Tom Hardy, Austin Butler and a hundred other equally masculine guys.

It is a stunningly beautiful film shot in the old-fashioned aesthetic on grainy film with atmospheric lamp lighting.

A charming story of sincere, faithful friendship and love reminds us of the 60s-70s. the best examples of American prose.
