Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek star in a story based on the 1950's murder spree across the Midwestern plains by Charlie Starkweather and his 15-year-old girlfriend, Carol Fugate. A chilling insight into the cold-hearted mind of the sociopath in one of the most stunning directorial debuts in the American cinema. The film, writes British critic Robin Wood, "produces a subtle,  idiosyncratic balance between engagement and detachment, complicity and        Terrence Malick---USA---1973---95 mins.

An award winner both at Cannes and in Hollywood, this story follows a trio composed of a fugitive from the Chicago slums named Bill (Richard Gere), his woman (Brooke Adams), and a shy, rich Texan (Sam Shepard), all caught in a love triangle. Besides the poetic narration provided by Bill's kid sister (Linda Manz), Days of Heaven's power is largely nonverbal. Set against the Midwestern wheat fields at the turn of the century, this film is often cited by cinematographers as being one of the most beautifully shot films ever made. "...both a nostalgic and an anti-nostalgic vision of the American past...It's an epic pastiche" (Pauline Kael). Ennio Morricone was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Score, and Nestor Almendros (Claire's Knee) won for Best Cinematography.  Terrence Malick---USA---1978---95 mins.
NEW WORLD (MALICK) EXTENDED

Terrence Malick's fourth film in more than thirty years is an achingly beautiful drama about the uneasy encounter between British settlers and Native Americans during the founding of Jamestown in 1607. Part historical epic, part tone poem, the film stars Colin Farrell as Captain John Smith, the soldier and explorer who's drawn to the beautiful Pocahontas (newcomer Q'orianka Kilcher) after she urges her father to spare his life. Malick's stylistic signatures--an exquisite attention to nature, use of poetic voiceover, and a persistently elegaic tone--are all luminously evident. "The lesson is clear as rainwater: to the innocent eye, ripe for marvelling, every world is new"       Terrence Malick---USA---2005---135 mins.

TREE OF LIFE, THE (BLU-RAY & DVD)
Our Price: $39.99

After years of rumors, planning, and delays, Terrence Malick released this ambitious, multi-layered, and divisive film about a boy's upbringing in a small Texas town in the 1950s. Well, that and the Big Bang, the time-space continuum, the origin of life on Earth, and the meaning of it all. (Piece of cake, right?) After a brief introduction to young Jack O'Brien (Hunter McCracken), his demanding father (Brad Pitt), and nurturing mother (Jessica Chastain), we flash forward some years to when grown Jack (Sean Penn) receives news of his brother's untimely death. Then, we cascade back to the dawn of the Universe, the formation of galaxies, fireballs smashing to make planets, volcanic surfaces hardening into stone, micro-biological creatures, dinosaurs, their death by comet, and finally, life as we know it. The rest of the film is a series of sometimes sentimental, sometimes stark scenes of mid-century American life in the O'Brien household, with a stern man and loving woman shaping a new life like so many colliding rocks and revelations in space. This all might sound flowery and pretentious, and it can be depending on your perspective. Tree of Life is also a beautiful movie that works on an emotional and experiential level, even if you don't care how the elliptical narrative relates to the bigger picture. Do you like 2001? If not, do you appreciate a good mystery?
