On September 18, The Criterion Collection will be releasing Days of Heaven, the visually stunning 1978 Terrence Malick film shot in Alberta starring Richard Gere, Sam Shepard, and Brooke Adams. Days of Heaven uses Alberta's southern prairie scenery as a dreamlike backdrop for the tale of 2 Chicago residents who pursue wheat harvesting in Texas after fleeing a crime.
More information can be found at the official website of The Criterion Collection.
I am a big fan of Malick's work and highly recommend his films. His use of great actors, incredible scenery, and outstanding music qualifies him as one of America's modern day cinema masters. Opponents will argue his films look like nature documentaries. I disagree. His shots of nature signifies the sometimes-forgotten relationships humanity has between our surroundings, the planet, and ourselves.
