  A Brighter Summer Day 1991

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Sep 2020

  A slow-burning film about being young and confused about life. I'm not so sure about the static frames at times, but it's certainly bold directing and editing.

  Days of Heaven 1978

  ★★★½ Watched 04 Aug 2020

  Malik innately understands the form of cinema, and despite this film’s problematic shooting and editing schedules, he was able to create poetry in muted passions in the Texas Panhandle. I won’t say that I was fully engrossed, but like many of Malik’s films, Days of Heaven does lead you to think about the everyday much deeper.

  Overly intellectual and not in a good way. Nice compositions, and decent acting but the film is more concerned with form than substance.
