Described by one critic as 'intolerably artsy' this is arguably Mallick's best film. It's slow and episodic. We, the viewers, drop in to see part of the story of the four main characters, and drop out at the end, as the two surviving characters drift away to uncertain (and unspecified) futures. In this sense the film feels more like a product of French cinema (enhanced by the voice-over dialogue) than of Hollywood with its definite sad/happy endings. I am not a fan of Richard Gere, who always seems to hold back from the characters he plays. His motivation, thinking and scheming in this film are all delivered through the fixed, impenetrable Gere 'mask'. The filming is excellent, with a locust plague and a major fire frighteningly portrayed. Definitely one to re-visit for the sheer artistry of the story-telling, and the way harsh lives are beautifully captured on film.Read full review

I had this on VHS for years and force-fed it to someone (they know who they are!)who didn't like Richard Gere. I never got it back, so I invested in the DVD. I got it originally because of director Malick's previous film Badlands. This is equal to that and the sound, musical score and cinematography are magic. Didn't like Richard Gere - phooey!
Outstanding film.

Days of Heaven is an American masterpiece by the legendary film director Terrence Malick. It's one of the most beautifully shot films ever, and Nestor Almendros won the Best Cinematography Oscar for this. It's a simple, engaging story of love, deception and murder, set during the Great Depression. Unforgettable. I've seen this film many times and never get tired of it. Classic!
