“Unless you love, your life will flash by”….
Like so many of you, I’m a big Terrence Malick film – from “Badlands” to “The Thin Red Line”, he’s a filmmaker that just doesn’t encompass the ability to let you down. Never has me, anyway.
Malick’s latest, “The Tree of Life”, looks well, stupendous – as well as stunning, exciting, arousing, engaging and brilliant.
Here’s the synopsis : From Terrence Malick, the acclaimed director of such classic films as Badlands, Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line, The Tree of Life is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950′s. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick’s signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life.
Feast your eyes upon the trailer…
