TheTreeOf Life (12A)

Dir: Terrence Malick I US I 2011 I 138 mins I BradPitt, SeanPenn, JessicaChastain

Winnerof thePalmed’Or -Cannes2011Hotly anticipated and critically lauded maverick director Terrence Malick's TheTree of Life is anexpansive, philosophical film of truly epic proportions. Ostensibly the story of jaded businessmanJack (Penn) looking back on his childhood in Texas, Malick's boldly spiritual film sets a very humanstory of 1950s American childhood – by turns idyllic and hauntingly sad – against the alienatingsprawl of modern urban life. This is in turn presented between breathtaking images of the universeand Earth's beginnings. Staggeringly cinematic and Proustian in scope, Malick's triumphant returnis a feast for the eyes and the mind that is also unafraid of exploring profound spiritual territory.
