Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven, the long-awaited follow-up to his 1973 debut Badlands, confirmed his reputation as a visual poet and narrative iconoclast with a story of love and murder told through the jaded voice of a child and expressive images of nature. In 1916, Chicago steelworker Bill (Richard Gere, stepping in for John Travolta) flees to Texas with his little sister Linda (Linda Manz) and girlfriend Abby (Brooke Adams) after fatally erupting at his boss. Along with other itinerant laborers, they work the harvest at a wealthy, ailing farmer's ranch, but the farmer (playwright Sam Shepard) falls in love with Abby, and, believing her to be Bill's sister, asks the three to stay on at his elysian spread. Seeing it as his one real chance to escape perpetual poverty, Bill urges Abby to marry the sick man. Marriage, however, has more restorative powers, and the farmer has more magnetism, than Bill had planned. "Nobody's perfect," Linda impassively observes in one of her many voiceovers, after their brief paradise is erased by plagues of locusts, fire, and lethal jealousy. ~ Lucia Bozzola, RoviRelease Date Days of Heaven Sep 13, 1978 Wide

Review For Days of Heaven
Visually and thematically, it's still one of the most beautiful films ever made.David Jenkins-Time Out
One of the great cinematic achievements of the 1970s.
Variety Staff-Variety
Perhaps the most typical example of a '70s American art film -- daring, romantic, rebellious but also filled with longing for the beauty of the past.
Michael Wilmington-Chicago Tribune
Days of Heaven never really makes up its mind what it wants to be.
Harold C. Schonberg-New York Times
Almost incontestably the most gorgeously photographed film ever made.
Michael Atkinson-Village Voice
It is the closest to poetry in motion that I have ever seen.
Andrew Ross-Salon.com
Unforgettable 1978 love triangle drama includes violence.
Brian Costello-Common Sense Media
Simply one of the most ravishing films ever made, luminous in a way that no other movie has been.
David Sexton-This is London
A rich and rewarding experience, then as now celebrated for its intricacy and slowness.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
The writing is witty, the story is told with a beguiling simplicity and the period is meticulously realised, not only in farming equipment and costume, but in attitudes and faces.
John Bleasdale-Electric Sheep
A second chance for Malick to cast away the chemical stained print and achieve the film he envisioned, and a second chance for audiences to experience a true classic on the big screen.
Sophie Brown-Little White Lies
Wholly divine.
Matthew Leyland-Total Film
A film about awareness, standing still and being cognizant of the things around you.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
You can feel Terrence Malick drifting away in this follow-up to his acclaimed debut.
Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm
One of the most visually impressive American films ever made, Days of Heaven fulfilled the promise that Terrence Malick had shown in Badlands
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
It has a visual syntax so eloquent -- its fields of gold cause its quiet characters to stand out like mythic figures -- it would play powerfully as a silent film.
Jeffrey Overstreet-Looking Closer
The images of workers in their landscape look like impressionist paintings that cinematographer Almendros creates on the screen with the natural light of his locations.
Sean Axmaker-Turner Classic Movies Online
A truly beautiful photographed film.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
For Malick, Man is just a small part of a world which just keeps going round with or without his petty squabbles, crimes, loves, or melodramatic plots.
Brian Holcomb-PopMatters
This is the towering, unconventional power of a true artist.
Ian Nathan-Empire Magazine
A feast for the eyes and ears.
-Film4
The sound alone is astonishing. Morricone's haunting, wistful score adds measurably to the sweep and timelessness of the film.
-TV Guide's Movie Guide
To hell with equivocation or beating around the bush: Terrence Malick's 1978 Days of Heaven is the greatest film ever made.
Nick Schager-Slant Magazine
Movie Images Days of Heaven
49 million people in the U.S. - one in four children - don't know where their next meal is coming from, despite our having the means to provide nutritious, affordable food for all Americans. Directors Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush examine this issue through the lens of three people for who are struggling with food insecurity: Barbie, a single Philadelphia mother who grew up in poverty and is trying to provide a better life for her two kids; Rosie, a Colorado second-grader who often has to depend on friends and neighbors to feed her and has trouble concentrating in school; and Tremonica, a Mississippi second-grader whose asthma and health issues are exacerbated by the largely empty calories her hardworking mother can afford. Their stories are interwoven with insights from experts including sociologist Janet Poppendieck, author Raj Patel and nutrition policy leader Marion Nestle; ordinary citizens like Pastor Bob Wilson and teachers Leslie Nichols and Odessa Cherry; and activists such as Witness to Hunger's Mariana Chilton, Top Chef's Tom Colicchio and Oscar (R)-winning actor Jeff Bridges. Ultimately, Finding North shows us how hunger poses serious economic, social and cultural implications for our nation, and that it could be solved once and for all, if the American public decides - as they have in the past - that making healthy food available and affordable is in the best interest of us all.
