Days of Heaven

One of the most beautiful American films ever made. Richard Gere and Brooke Adams star as migrant workers and secret lovers who decide to dupe wealthy farmer Sam Shepard. Heartbreak and tragedy ensue. The breath-stopping ravishment of Terence Malick’s magic-hour shooting schedule is leavened perfectly by the vinegar and innocence of teenage co-star Linda Manz’s dese-and-dose narration. -Lee Gardner
