Terrence Malick is one of America's greatest film directors. He has the rare ability to go from a violent mood to a lyrical one and back again. All his films are beautifully filmed and have compelling story lines. Two of our country's best actors, Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek, star in Badlands. There is one scene in the film in which Sheen is peeking out of his underground hiding place that would not have seemed out of place in Apocalypse Now. Badlands, which was first released in 1973, does not show its age. It looks as good as any new release.
