IIRC, Nestor Almendros writes about how he used the light of the magic hour while shooting this film in his autobiography, A Man With a Camera.
I love the magic hour. The birds twitter away into silence and everything seems suspended in time, hushed and glowing.

I saw this back in 1978 and the memory stayed with me. I loved the young girl's narration and the stunning landscape, beautifully captured. We watched it thanks to our 6th form film club. Big call out to our tutor Gerry Smith - thank you!

It's in line for the great American film for me. Only Griffith's 'Intolerance' has such confident , broad ambition and deals with the immigrant/working class experience in such an intimate/even way-- this is a rare but essential thing in understanding Americas formation (this is apart from the native genocide etc--Jarmusch's "Dead Man' may be in line for the best film on that period/mindset). Also impressive is the biblical/old testament feeling best seen in the locust sequence, so America!

it's funny that's everybody's so interrested in knowing where the film was shot but nobody mentioned what makes the visual magic: the magic hour. It is the moment when the sun sets, and after the sun sets and before it is night. The sky has light, but there is no actual sun. The light is very soft, and there is something magic about it. It limits the shooting to around twenty minutes a day, but it did pay on the screen.
This is a masterpiece (and of course,it's an understatement)
