There aren’t a lot of good movies these days. Jeff Nichols’ The Bikeriders is the best new film since Todd Field’s Tár, which came out in 2022. The Bikeriders is set in the Chicago area in the mid-to-late sixties. It tells the story of the Vandals Motorcycle Club.

The movie is based on Danny Lyon’s book of photographs, also called The Bikeriders, about a real-life club called the Outlaws. Lyon also recorded interviews with the club, and some of the script is simply copied verbatim from Lyon’s tapes.

Indeed, before I began work on this review, I had seen Once Upon a Time in the West only one time in full, on a rented VHS tape in the 1990s. I knew it was a great film, so I bought the VHS. But I could not bring myself to watch it again. (more…)
