The TVI Take

Terrence Malick's 1978 Texas-panhandle-set film anchored by Richard Gere, Brooke Adams, and Sam Shepard as itinerant farm workers in 1916. The structural commitment to Néstor Almendros's natural-light cinematography (the entire film is shot in 'golden hour') is the catalog's most-canonical visual achievement.

Won Best Cinematography Oscar; widely cited as one of the medium's most-beautiful films.
