As the winter sets in Hyderabad, it's a perfect time to watch cinema in the evening as the sun sets quite early these days.

This month, Lamakaan presents the cinema of Terrence Malick, known for his philosophical theme films.

Terrence Frederick Malick (born November 30, 1943) is an American filmmaker. His films include Badlands (1973); Days of Heaven (1978); The Thin Red Line (1998), for which he received Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay Academy Award nominations and won the Golden Bear at the 49th Berlin International Film Festival; The New World (2005); The Tree of Life (2011), which garnered him another Best Director Oscar nomination and the Palme d'Or at the 64th Cannes Film Festival; and A Hidden Life (2019).

Malick began his career as part of the New Hollywood generation of filmmakers with Badlands, about a murderous couple on the run in 1950s American Midwest, and Days of Heaven, which details a love triangle between two laborers and a wealthy farmer during the First World War, before a lengthy hiatus. His films have explored transcendence, nature, and conflicts between reason and instinct. Broad philosophical and spiritual overtones and the use of meditative voice-overs from individual characters typically mark them. Malick's style has polarized scholars and audiences; many praise his films for their lavish cinematography and aesthetics, but others fault them for lacking plot and character development. His work has nonetheless ranked highly in retrospective decade-end and all-time polls.

Film Title: DAYS OF HEAVEN | 1978 | 94 Mins | USA | English Language with English Subtitles

About the film: Days of Heaven is a 1978 American romantic period drama film written and directed by Terrence Malick and starring Richard Gere, Brooke Adams, Sam Shepard, and Linda Manz. Set in 1916, it tells the story of Bill and Abby, lovers who travel to the Texas Panhandle for work harvesting crops for a wealthy grain farmer. Bill persuades Abby to claim the fortune of the dying farmer by tricking him into a sham marriage. The scheme soon devolves into an Old Testament parable that threatens to destroy the lives of everyone involved.

Screening followed by Discussion. All are Welcome. Entry is Free & Open to all!

“Each time someone asks me for a favourite song, I realise my list of treasured music is literally from the last century. No doubt, there have been beautiful songs composed in the last 24 years, but the imprint that songs of the 60s-90s have left on my heart is far too deep. In a world of fast-paced media consumption, I just want to slow down, sit together and sing songs that I’ve grown up on. An easy evening of music, stories and love awaits you on 14th Nov at Lamakaan. My name is Anuj Gurwara - and I hope you will join me.”

Anuj Gurwara is a multi-faceted artist from Hyderabad with over two decades of experience across various verticals of the industry. He is one of India’s leading anchors and a Communications Coach. Anuj is also an award-winning singer - having debuted with the song Panchadara Bomma from SS Rajamouli’s film Magadheera - that won him the Filmfare Award for Best Singer, amongst many other accolades.
