Director: Terrence Malick
Stars: Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman, Brian Dennehy
A empty movie studio lot;
an ageing father, a raging brother;
a spaghetti junction of freeways;
women he’s picked up;
women he cares for but can’t connect with;
his ex-wife, caring for the seriously ill;
pelicans;
dubious life lessons from Antonio Banderas at an exclusive pool party;
the Pacific Ocean; the Mojave Desert; Las Vegas…..
From these fragments of narrative and emotion, Malick and the brilliant cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki follow screenwriter Rick (Bale) through a personal crisis in “mesmerising” (Metro) style. Malick’s unique, perplexing and fascinating approach attracts an A-list cast and creates beautiful moments that live long in the memory.
Its a hard film to pin down. This pre-Review from Cinemablend, here includes a link to the Trailer – or is it the other way round? (it’s that kind of film).
while the Official (US) Trailer can be seen below…..
