Terence Malick's second feature film, starring Richard Gere, Brooke Adams, and the great playwright and actor Sam Shepherd, "Days of Heaven" is a beautiful movie about temporary farm workers in Texas. The movie is very realistic, but it also has many qualities of a parable or allegory.

This video reviews and analyzes the movie, for the purposes of criticism. It discusses where the title Days of Heaven comes from and what its meaning might be.

The video also praises Days of Heaven and its music and sound, thanks to Ennio Morricone, Leo Kottke, and Malick's great ear.
