| description |
Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven is one of the most visually
beautiful films ever made.
Dreamlike and elliptical, it follows a trio of turn-of-the-century
Chicago migrant workers (Richard Gere, Brooke Adams and Linda
Manz) to the Texas Panhandle, where they wind up working the
wheat fields of a rich and lonely farmer (Sam Shephard).
The film also boasts one of the most gorgeous and haunting
musical scores ever written by a master of all that is gorgeous
and haunting: Ennio Morricone.
Morricone composed three principal themes for the picture:
a "Main Theme" (which intentionally references the
"Aquarium" movement from Camille Saint-Saëns's
Carnival of the Animals), a pastoral melody for flute (full
of optimism and hope), and an unforgettable, elegiac love
theme-one of the most compelling and beautiful melodies
of the composer's storied career.
In an unusual move, Morricone gave Malick permission to move
cues around-the end result being that much of the music
was relocated to different parts of the film than those for
which it was composed.
Still further differences exist between the music as heard
in the film and as it was presented on the soundtrack LP issued
by Pacific Arts Records and Tapes.
Because of these differences, this 2CD set of Morricone's
music for Days of Heaven features three programs, all newly
remastered from the ½" three- and four-track mixes
created in Rome (with a few redone in Los Angeles).
Tracks 1-13 on disc 1 recreate the 1978 soundtrack
album, which included most of Morricone's major themes as
well as music not heard in the picture.
Tracks 14-30 present the Morricone cues as heard in
the finished film-without replicating abridgements and
repetitions of certain selections.
Disc 2 presents an extended, freestanding program of most
(but not all) of Morricone's score as recorded, following
the chronological sequence of the slate numbers, along with
a handful of bonus tracks.
Here the score proves to be considerably more diverse than
in the finished film.
Days of Heaven's gorgeous cinematography is captured in some
of the film stills selected by designer Joe Sikoryak for the
16-page booklet.
Since no paperwork survives to indicate the screen action
Morricone intended his cues to underscore, FSM has not included
the customary track-by-track commentary, but an informative
essay by Lukas Kendall and Jeff Bond provides useful background
on film and score.
The film is about nothing less than the human experience
on earth-fleeting "days of heaven" torn asunder
by twists of fate and the selfishness of human society.
Morricone's music is a bittersweet expression of the search
for happiness and the inevitability of loss that marks the
human condition.
Days of Heaven remains one of the pinnacles of his astonishingly
productive and innovative career.

| story |
Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven, the long-awaited
follow-up to his 1973 debut Badlands, confirmed his reputation
as a visual poet and narrative iconoclast with a story of
love and murder told through the jaded voice of a child and
expressive images of nature.
In 1916, Chicago steelworker Bill (Richard Gere, stepping
in for John Travolta) flees to Texas with his little sister
Linda (Linda Manz) and girlfriend Abby (Brooke Adams) after
fatally erupting at his boss.
Along with other itinerant laborers, they work the harvest
at a wealthy, ailing farmer's ranch, but the farmer (playwright
Sam Shepard) falls in love with Abby, and, believing her to
be Bill's sister, asks the three to stay on at his elysian
spread.
Seeing it as his one real chance to escape perpetual poverty,
Bill urges Abby to marry the sick man.
Marriage, however, has more restorative powers, and the farmer
has more magnetism, than Bill had planned.
"Nobody's perfect," Linda impassively observes in
one of her many voiceovers, after their brief paradise is
erased by plagues of locusts, fire, and lethal jealousy.
