The Bikeriders film review — 1960s motorcycle saga fuelled by the spirit of Scorsese

Does anyone remember Hollywood? The Bikeriders does. The setting is 1960s suburban Chicago, but the lost glamour of Tinseltown hangs thick throughout. Consider the whipped-cream topping of film stars: Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Jodie Comer. Note too the bookends of classic movies. Early on, a character stares rapt at Marlon Brando rebelling in The Wild One. Years later, a cinema plays the definitively hairy Easy Rider.

Kathy chats, Lyon snaps and a jolly biker tells us there ain’t nothing wrong with eating bugs. His name, naturally, is Cockroach. For the casual audience, a lot is pinned on the charisma of the headliners. Questions arise. Why am I here with these characters? Is there a shower I can use afterwards? The man to ask is Nichols , an interesting talent who has now made his best movie. Early on, he seems to simply want us to look at something icky in a matchbox.
