CRIMSON: You said you liked Days of Heaven. Doesn't Malick use his actors, like mannequins...
DEWITT: Get Out Your Handkerchiefs. About on-par with Cousin. Cousine: real lightweight. Maybe I could pick the ten best movies of 1978...I don't think I've seen ten movies in 1978. Terry Malick's Days of Heaven was wonderful. There's Dolby for you. And camerawork--Zsigmond again in places, and Haskell Wexler.

This film will be discussed in far greater detail at a later date, but see it now, fast--it's a Barry Lyndon that breathes...
