Days of Heaven (Terrence Malick, 1978)
Days of Heaven, Terrence Malick's second feature following Badlands, is one of the most beautifully shot films I have ever seen. Just extraordinary. It would be 20 years before he released he released his next feature, The Thin Red Line, which also puts up a strong case. Can't wait for The Tree of Life.

I'm looking forward to The Tree Of Life as well, I hope it's better than The New World...
ReplyDeleteDays of Heaven is a really beautiful film, the story fell a bit flat in my opinion, but the cinematography and the Morricone score were excellent.
I enjoyed The New World but I admit, not as much as his first three features. The story in Days of Heaven was a bit flat, and the performances not real great, but it's the visuals and the score that make up for that.
ReplyDeleteGlad we agree :)
ReplyDeleteI'm also glad you enjoyed The Thin Red Line, I think it's wonderful but loads of people seem to hate it, I can't understand it...I actually thought it was better than Saving Private Ryan.
Badlands is my favourite of Malick's though.
I have always loved The Thin Red Line better than Ryan. After watching Days of Heaven i'm going to re-watch the rest of Malick's films in preparation for The Tree of Life. I think its release is scheduled for May, unless it is pushed back again...
