If you loved Badlands, try Days of Heaven

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Terrence Malick, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Badlands, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Days of Heaven is

Texas panhandle, wheat fields swaying, a tractor rumbles. A stoic farmer stands alone, a couple and a little girl arrive to harvest, their past unseen in the endless plains. Malick shoots the American landscape as a character.
