What critics compared Rules Don't Apply to
Award-winning cinematographer Caleb Deschanel washes them all in the same gorgeous, golden tones that got him Oscar nominations for The Right Stuff , The Passion of the Christ , The Natural and The Patriot , making the whole film glow like a time capsule from a L.A.’s picture-postcard past.
After Beatty's first starring role in 1961's "Splendor in the Grass," his list of important movies continued to grow: "Bonnie and Clyde," "Shampoo," "Reds," "Heaven Can Wait," "Dick Tracy" and more.
Has he seen Bugsy (1991) or Dick Tracy (1990), much less Shampoo (1975), The Parallax View (1974) or the groundbreaking Bonnie and Clyde (1967)?
Not taking everything you’re offered frees you up to make Bonnie and Clyde, McCabe & Mrs. Miller, The Parallax View, and Shampoo in a single decade when you do work.
Like Beatty’s earlier political projects (Bulworth, Reds , and the Hal Ashby-directed Shampoo), Rules Don’t Apply is fascinated by hypocrisy and sexual mores; it finds in the Hughes organization a microcosm of American moralism and in the titan of industry’s persona a satire of faith in the contradictory and unseen.
Splendor in the Grass (1961), Bonnie & Clyde (1967), McCabe and Mrs. Miller (1971), Shampoo (1975), Reds (1981), and now Rules Don't Apply, all have sex at their core.
Rules Don’t Apply is just the latest example in the wake of such hits as Bonnie and Clyde, Shampoo, Heaven Can Wait, Reds and Bugsy.
