The Conversations: Terrence Malick - Part I


Everyone is talking about Tree of Life. Well, everyone who lives in New York or Los Angeles or made it to Cannes. The rest of you can get your fix by heading over to The House Next Door for Part I of The Conversations: Terrence Malick, in which Ed Howard and I discuss his first four pictures: Badlands (1973), Days of Heaven (1978), The Thin Red Line (1998) and The New World (2005). We discuss Malick's affection for nature, his use of narrators and his implementation of music. We also discuss whether Malick's pictures are "too pretty." So give it a read, and let us know what we missed.

  1. Jason, awesome discussion so far. I've forwarded it to several friends who haven't seen any Malick (shame on them) and they are all super excited now for Tree of Life.

    Really cool dialogue, thanks for that.
