Starring Richard Gere, Brooke Adams, Sam Shepard
Hiding from the law in rural Texas, a field hand (Richard Gere) encourages his girlfriend to wed their ailing employer, hoping to inherit his fortune—but the marriage proves to have a restorative effect. Terrence Malick’s ravishing cinema poem teems with wondrous imagery, painterly compositions, and haunting “magic hour” light.
The feature will be preceded by a special preshow, featuring era-appropriate cartoons, trailers, and more.
This screening is presented in conjunction with a Cinema Classics Seminar taught by Alan Singer, Ph.D. Seating for screening-only attendees will begin at 7:00 pm. Just want to see the film? Purchase your tickets from this page.
