Terrence Malick: The Tree of Life
























Coming soon, having just been awarded a Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) at the Cannes Film Festival and making its way back to the USA, where it was filmed (much in Texas, where Terrence Malick hails from): The Tree of Life, starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn.

At this point, it's worth noting that Malick's The New World (2005) was beautifully shot by Emmanuel Lubezki, cinematographer for The Tree of Life as well. Interesting and wondrous and far out in the way Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey was received in 1968, I'm guessing. 

Today's Rune: Movement.

I actually saw this at a press screening. Can't comment too much until it's a little closer to opening day, but it's certainly a film that demands to be experienced in the theater. And yeah, great cinematography.

I do like "far out"

Just about anything with Sean Penn tends to be worth seeing.
