This is a 4K UHD release fit for one of the masterpieces of the cinema.
Imprint’s Blu-ray is further proof that Terence Malick’s sophomore feature is among the most visually dazzling films ever made.
Ultimately, all kinds of freedom prove ensnaring and destructive in Out of the Blue.
One major reason that Malick’s films are so divisive is that they’re so nakedly emotional, that he’s so blatantly aiming for the sublime.
The film’s atmosphere of simultaneous intimacy and disconnection is haunting.
The most valuable reason to reinvest in the film after Paramount’s bare-bones 1999 release is this disc’s impeccable widescreen transfer.
The key to understanding Terrence Malick’s intent can be found in a camera move that begins the denouement of Days of Heaven.
