Having begun his career by making a woman the central figure of a science-fiction action movie (Alien), Ridley Scott cemented his feminist credentials with this bracingly smart, funny and touching portrait of female friendship and solidarity. When put-upon housewife Thelma (Geena Davis) and her waitress gal-pal Louise (Susan Sarandon) set off on a weekend getaway in the latter’s 1966 Ford T-bird, a drunken altercation in the parking lot of a seedy cowboy bar turns these vacationers into fugitives from justice. Soon, they’re blazing a trail across Monument Valley with befuddled boyfriends, FBI agents, a surprisingly sympathetic detective (Harvey Keitel) and Brad Pitt’s six-pack in pursuit, moving ever further away from their humdrum lives and towards an existential void as wide as…well, the Grand Canyon. A mid-career triumph for Scott, Thelma & Louise won a Best Original Screenplay for Callie Khouri’s script and five additional nominations including Best Director, Actress (for Davis and Sarandon) and cinematography (by the late, great Adrian Biddle). - Text courtesy of Film at Lincoln Center
