Days of Heaven

One of the most critically-acclaimed films of all time, Days of Heaven is a moving story about two men who love the same woman. Bill (Richard Gere), a fugitive from the slums of Chicago, finds himself pitted against a shy, rich Texan (Sam Shepard) for the love of Abby (Brooke Adams). An extraordinary cinematic achievement of sight and sound by writer/director Terrence Malick.

Alongside the documentary Ennio, we will be playing three classic films featuring scores by Morricone. Also check out: The Good, the Bad, and the Uglyand Cinema Paradiso.

"Days of Heaven is a big advance, hauntingly beautiful in image, sound and rhythm, unashamedly poetic, brimming with sweetness and bitterness, darkness and light."
Jack Kroll, Newsweek
