Days of Heaven (1978)

Join Rabbi Callie and Matt Schulman as we explore Judaism through the medium of film. Each month we will screen a film that illustrates a particular Jewish text, idea or value. Matt will provide the lens of the film critic, while Rabbi Callie will connect the film to a Jewish teaching. 














Quite possibly the finest film of its decade, Days of Heaven is a tale of beauty and passion that demands to be experienced and discussed.

 

Directed by Terrence Malick, and featuring some of the finest cinematography and music of any American film, this movie is sure to spawn wonderful conversation and a new appreciation for this rarely-talked-about masterpiece.

 

One of the most acclaimed and impressive filmmakers of all time, Terrence Malick has made only 6 films during his 40+ year career and each of them demonstrates his uncanny ability to create an otherworldly calmness amidst the chaos and overwhelming beauty of his stories.

 

Filmed with almost entirely natural lighting, the film captures a feel that is simultaneously realistic and dreamlike.  Featuring amazing performances by Richard Gere, Sam Shepard and Brooke Adams, this will be a film and evening that is guaranteed to stay with you long after you leave.

 

Join us for an evening of innovative filmmaking and involved and provoked discussion!
