Astoundingly beautiful, Terrence Malick’s Days of Heaven is a quiet, ethereal, and existential visual poem of a film. At the turn of the 20th Century, a Chicago steel worker accidentally kills his supervisor. After fleeing to the Texas panhandle with his girlfriend and little sister, the trio ends up harvesting wheat in the fields of a stoic farmer. With gauzy and luminous cinematography, brilliant directorial restraint, and a haunting score from Ennio Morricone, Days of Heaven is the kind of film that feels like a breathless dream. In a dazzling 4K presentation.
