'Days of Heaven' - Images of rediculous beauty

I have just seen Malick's 'Days of Heaven' for the first time and was struck, as I knew I would be, by the startling cinematography which glows with mellow hues and an unburdened sense of beauty. I have always enjoyed Malick's films though I understand that many dislike his ponderous and enigmatic pacing and narratives. I found 'Days of Heaven' came with none of the overbearing sense of self-indulgence that 'The Thin Red Line' or 'The Tree of Life' did. Over all I found it to be a very pure film and, as I always feel of Malick's films, an honest expression of its creator.
