Days of Heaven. 1978. USA. Written and directed by Terrence Malick
These notes accompany screenings of Terence Malick’s </em>Days of Heaven</a> on August 6, 7, and 8 in Theater 3.</p>
Terrence Malick, now 70, was still in his twenties when his first feature, Badlands, debuted at the 1973 New York Film Festival. Days of Heaven, released five years later, was not followed by another film for two decades. It is hard to think of another significant filmmaker with that kind of gap in his output.
