PLACES IN THE HEART (BLU-RAY)

“Robert Benton has made one of the best films in years about growing up American…full of wonder and longing and love.”
?Vincent Canby, The New York Times
“Friendships quicken, love hardens, the constant toil is made endurable by the small town ethic of communal feelings. Much is unemphatic, but all of it carries the moving weight of conviction.”
?Time Out London

Places in the Heart (1984) is writer-director Robert Benton’s nostalgic but thoroughly unsentimental memory piece about growing up in a small Texas town during the Great Depression. Focusing on a young widow (the OscarR-winning Sally Field) who suddenly has to support her two young children, the film celebrates the community she gathers around her: a black hobo (Danny Glover) who begins as a thief and winds up as a friend and mentor; a cranky blind boarder (John Malkovich); a pragmatic sister (Lindsay Crouse) who is supporting her own family, including a husband (Ed Harris) with a penchant for her best friend (Amy Madigan). Their grit and determination are poignantly presented with an assist from the sterling cinematography of Nestor Almendros (Days of Heaven).
