The Cinematic Artistry of Days of Heaven

Capturing the ephemeral beauty and tragic romance of Terrence Malick’s 1978 masterpiece, Days of Heaven, this highly sought-after poster by renowned artist Laurent Durieux is a must-have piece for serious film collectors. Known for his elegant, vintage-inspired style, Durieux perfectly translates the film’s grand, yet intimate, atmosphere onto the canvas.

A Tribute to Visual Poetry

The poster features the protagonist, Abby, standing amidst the sprawling wheat fields of the Texas Panhandle, bathed in the iconic golden-hour lighting that defined Nestor Almendros’ Oscar-winning cinematography. The striking composition focuses on Abby’s silhouette against the burning orange sky, with the imposing farmer’s mansion looming in the background, hinting at the class conflicts and doomed love triangle at the heart of the story.

Look closely at the detail in her blue corset—Durieux masterfully incorporates the subtle silhouettes of characters Bill and the Farmer, symbolizing their tangled relationship and the emotional pressure tightening around Abby. This art piece serves as a sophisticated homage to one of the most visually stunning films ever made, bringing the quiet intensity and epic scope of Malick’s vision directly to your home cinema or gallery wall. This print, originally released by Mondo, represents the pinnacle of modern movie poster design.
