MASTERWORKS

Today's film was Terrence Malick's

Days of Heaven (1978)

HIs first of six films. I will be seeing all of them

To say that Malick is a slow study these six took over30 years to evolve.

Imagine this. His first film and a total masterpiece.

Ebert says that it is one of the most beautiful films ever made. I haven't seen every film ever made but this one is hard to beat.

The story is simple but the complex emotions which we see at a distance from the viewpoint of a young hard times girl are riveting.

Richard Gere, Sam Shepard, Brook Adams and the child narrator Linda ManzThis film must be seen to be believed.

I have seen it many times and will want to see it again. A 5 out of Netflix5.
