Criterion’s DVD of Days of Heaven has been shipped via Amazon and it is worth every penny. Watching the film on DVD allows you to hit pause and really drink in each shot. There is a misconception that Malick is a slow-paced filmmaker. That is so untrue. This film moves at break-neck speed – constant editing, no shot held for more than a short beat. Always leave ’em wanting more. If you haven’t seen this masterpiece, now’s the time. It remains one of my ten favorite films of all time.
