“The Magic Hour” also known as “The Golden Hour” are the two hours of the day when the sun is setting and rising; painting the sky, ground, objects and people with a sort of golden yellow hue, pronouncing shadows as the light hits everything at an angle rather than the blanket of light we usually witness throughout an average day. Softening light and enhancing colours through mother natures own form of diffusion.

The second installment of the Left Field Cinema series examining the films of America's greatest living film maker, this time his Richard Gere staring sophomore subversion of the Western genre.

Something of an enigma within the breadth of excellent directors across the globe, even Andrei Tarkovsky, Ingmar Bergman, and Krzysztof Kieslowski made a few lacklustre features, where as Malick has made four films, and in my personal opinion, four masterpieces.

The first in a series of episodes examining all of Terrence Malick's films, starting here with his 1973 debut which features Martin Sheen in a career best performance as Kit, the cold blooded killer.
