Malick also pointed out that "Kit and Holly even think of themselves as living in a fairy tale," and he felt that was very appropriate as "children's books like Treasure Island were often filled with violence." He also hoped a "fairy tale" tone would "take a little of the sharpness out of the violence but still keep its dreamy quality."
Principal photography took place in the summer of 1972, beginning in July, with a non-union crew and a considerably low budget of $300,000 (excluding some deferments to film labs and actors).
"Malick's 1973 first feature is a film so rich in ideas it hardly knows where to turn," wrote Dave Kehr for The Chicago Reader. "Transcendent themes of love and death are fused with a pop-culture sensibility and played out against a midwestern background, which is breathtaking both in its sweep and in its banality."
