Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven

About This Event

A screening of the 1978 film Days of Heaven, presented in collaboration with the Grand Rapids Film Society.

What to Expect

• 1.It’s a classic slow-burn drama—the visuals and score are the focus, not constant action; you’ll get a meditative cinematic experience, and there may be a short pre-screening intro by the Grand Rapids Film Society.
• 2.Plan to arrive a bit early to secure a good seat at the Grand Rapids Art Museum; weekend crowds can fill the screening room.
• 3.The screening runs roughly three hours and the theater can be chilly, so bring a light layer and settle in for a steady, immersive pace.
• 4.If you want a bite or coffee before/after, check nearby options around Monroe Center; you’ll have time to explore the museum’s surroundings.
• 5.If you’re into film history, pay attention to Malick’s visual style and era cues—the screening is a great context for discussion afterwards.
