COMMENT

The "Magic Hour" or "Golden Hour" is the name for that time of the day, when the sun sets or rises, painting the sky, land, objects and people in a golden yellow tone. The idyllically beautiful lighting during this “magic hour” makes even the dullest everyday landscape saturated and vibrant. All this led to a stunning result.

No cinematographer has been able to capture the dizzying beauty of the "magic hour" as stunningly as director Terrence Malick and cinematographer Nestor Almendros in the film "Days of Heaven".

Terence Malick worked on this film for almost five years. During this time, he achieves such a polish of the frame that watching his films sometimes resembles pages torn out of an exquisite art album, or reading a wonderful collection of poetry that gives an unimaginable aesthetic pleasure.

The rhythms of the city and the silence of the countryside, frost on the horses' backs and dew on the ears of corn, gathering clouds and distant thunder, Ennio Morricone the majestic captivating musical theme - the whole world is conjured up in feelings, and this rare quality is what makes "Heavenly Days" a masterpiece.

In conclusion: "Heavenly Days" is one of the greatest, most sophisticated and captivating films in the history of cinema. In terms of visual style and image design, it is an absolutely unique masterpiece of art. If you are still not convinced that this movie is not to be missed, read everything written here again.
