Director Terrence Malick shot this in 70 MM and the anamorphic DVD does a decent job of showing off its merits. This is one of the most beautiful films ever shot and many scenes could be frozen and be a work of art. Richard Gere and Brooke Adams are an item but pretend to be brother and sister. They go to work at a north Texas wheat farm owned by rich landowner Sam Shepard, who becomes smitten with Adams and marries her. She continues toi fool around with Gere3, with predictably tragic results. I only wish I had seen this in its original presentation.

  Far better, although I know you are joking.
  - Nope. Heaven's Gate has that French girl's tits going for it. That - tinear 12:08:47 12/06/05 (2)
    trumps that insipid Am. actress in Malick's overblown artsy-fartsy farm epic.
    - Cimino can't get a job in Hollywood anymore....Malick on the other hand has a new highly touted flick coming out 12/25.. - TWB 16:41:07 12/06/05 (1)
