Overlooked treasure

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2000)

I had overlooked this film until I found out that Terrance Malick was the director. Since "Days of Heaven" is one of my all time favorite movies, I had to check this one out. Once again, Mr. Malick has created a spectacular work of art, not to mention an emotionally wrenching and intensely soulful depiction of aspects of war,love and human personalities. As with "Days of Heaven" the natural world around the human world plays an important part in the story. So much depth is conveyed (without script)just in the way this interaction has been filmed and edited. This movie is nothing less than spectacular.
