BADLANDS
Malick | 1973 | US | 94m
“Terrence Malick”
2:00 at MoMI

“Writer-director Terrence Malick’s 1973 first feature is a film so rich in ideas it hardly knows where to turn. Transcendent themes of love and death are fused with a pop-culture sensibility and played out against a midwestern background, which is breathtaking both in its sweep and in its banality.”
-Dave Kehr, The Chicago Reader
