A fresh look at the biker scene
“The Bikeriders”, a movie set in the 60s, takes us into the world of a biker club called the Vandals. Directed by Jeff Nichols, known for his character-driven narratives, this movie promises an intimate, human portrayal of the biker world. It centers on the story of Kathy (played by Jodie Comer), who is married to Benny (Austin Butler), a boisterous biker. Her narrative offers insights into the dynamics within the club, which are characterized by both loyalty and rivalry.
Characters in the twilight
Austin Butler and Tom Hardy, two of the main actors, embody the central characters of the film. Butler plays Benny, who is about to take over the club, while Hardy is the founder and leader Johnny. Their performances promise to illuminate the complex relationships and inner turmoil of the characters. Jodie Comer rounds off the ensemble as a strong female character who not only has to deal with the rough biker world, but also with personal relationship problems.
Norman Reedus, known as an absolute motorcycle enthusiast and also from The Walking Dead series, also plays a role in the film.
Comparison with “Sons Of Anarchy”
Of course, works like “The Bikeriders” are always overshadowed by giants like “Sons Of Anarchy”. Nevertheless, the movie seems to be going its own way. Jeff Nichols has made it clear that his aim is not to imitate another biker series, but to tell a unique story characterized by its depth of character and emotional complexity. This could be just the fresh approach the genre needs.
Familiar faces behind ‘The Bikeriders’
When ‘The Bikeriders’ hits screens in june/July 2024, movie fans will be treated to an ensemble of actors who have already shone in some of the most notable works of recent memory.
