Malick's best film

"At this moment, I didn't feel shame or fear, but just kind of blah, like when you're sitting there and all the water's run out of the bathtub."

Terrence Malick's masterful debut feature, Badlands is a deliberately-paced thriller of immense power and striking visual lyricism. The picture was produced for a paltry $300,000, and is loosely based on the real-life killing spree of Charl... read more

A classic

I had actually already seen this flick and, if I recall it correctly, I saw it about 10 years ago when I was living in England. Back then, I wasn’t really familiar with Terrence Malick and I watched this flick because it was considered as a masterpiece. Nowadays, I have seen most of the movies directed by Malick and I thought it was time to revisit his directing debut. Unfortunately, even this s... read more

"21.9. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Varmaan kymmeniä kertoja nähty, nyt ensikertaa kunnollisella laadulla. Tästä kierroksesta voi todeta mm. Criterionin BD:n olevan vähän laadullisesti parempi kuin jeesuksen aikainen DVD. Tunnelma vie edelleen väkisin mukaansa. Kaunista."
