Summary
<p>Terrence Malick perfected his now-signature style with his rapturously beautiful second film, DAYS OF HEAVEN (1978). We discuss the film's depiction of hardscrabble American life in the early 20th century, and Malick's holistic view of humanity and nature. PLUS: an alarming update on the state of Canadian media, and the U.S. Congress condemnation of socialism.</p><br /><p>"On Earth as It Is in Heaven" by Adrian Martin - <a href="https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/555-days-of-heaven-on-earth-as-it-is-in-heaven" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/555-days-of-heaven-on-earth-as-it-is-in-heaven</a></p><br /><p><em>Michael and Us</em> is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.</p>
