A ★★★★½ review of Days of Heaven (1978)

This is a masterpiece you truly have to see to believe. We all know the production already turned this into a near-legend, but what really matters is the end result… and oh boy, it’s stunning. The imagery is absolutely breathtaking, with every frame like a painting on its own. While the story isn’t as big or epic as the visuals, its simplicity complements the film’s meditative tone. A quiet, poetic masterpiece, Days of Heaven is a small wonder that feels timeless.
