A movie that has few equals
This is an extraordinary movie, but it requires the viewer to actively engage with it. By that I mean that the narrative, as is typical of Mr. Malick’s movie, does not proceed in a typical linear fashion, with numerous flashbacks. Also, Mr. Malick tells his stories largely through amazing images and sound, with sparse dialog. However, once you become accustomed to this means of storytelling, you will see a movie that has few equals. If you have never seen a Malick movie before, it might be best to start with “Days of Heaven,” from 1978, which is an easier story to follow, but has all of the great Malick film characteristics of superb cinematography and little dialog. The extended version, available only on this Criterion release, is worth seeing, as it has important plot elements trimmed from the theatrical version. Mr. Malick provides a film that engages the viewer, and presents issues which were praised by the clergy, as well as film critics. As always, Criterion, in conjunction with the cinematographer and director, presents a faultless Blu Ray transfer. Highly recommended.
