Days of Heaven (1978) – T. Malick
Pictorially amazing and with the most amazing editing, featuring a lot
of cuts to shots of movement and then layers of movement within shots (how do I
describe this -- must be seen!). The story is somewhat incidental to the full
experience of beauty here (laborer Gere cooks up a plan that involves his
girlfriend marrying rich farmer Sam Shepard who is supposedly dying). Using
Nestor Almendros and Haskell Wexler must have helped to give Malick the kino
eye here.
