Days of Heaven


One of the most critically acclaimed films of the American Cinema, Days of Heaven is a story about two men who love the same woman. Richard Gere, a fugitive from the slums of Chicago, finds himself pitted against a shy, rich Texan (Sam Shepard) for the love of Abby (Brooke Adams). The story is told from the point of view of Linda (Linda Manz), Bill's younger sister. She, Bill and Abby are forced to flee Chicago after Bill accidentally murders his forman. Extraordinary cinematography by Nestor Almendros and written by Terrance Malick.
