Plot
Migrant workers in the Texas Panhandle in the early 1900s are caught in a love triangle with a dying farmer.
Sinekatalog’s take
Malick's lyrical drama follows migrant workers and a love triangle on a Texas wheat farm. Néstor Almendros's magic-hour photography is among cinema's most beautiful, and the story is told in glimpses.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
