Days of Heaven (1978)

About the performance

Starring: Richard Gere, Brooke Adams, Sam Shepard
Directed by: Terrence Malick
Rated: PG
Running Time: 94 minutes

A hot-tempered farm laborer convinces the woman he loves to marry their rich but dying boss so that they can have a claim to his fortune.

“Above all one of the most beautiful films ever made. Malick’s purpose is not to tell a story of melodrama, but one of loss. His tone is elegiac. He evokes the loneliness and beauty of the limitless Texas prairie.”
—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
