Malick has been tied to the Austin area since childhood and currently lives in the Texas capital, but ironically his seemingly most personal project is also his least focused. Anything Malick shoots is going to be visually immaculate, but it's the strength of the thematic core that defines his best work. Song to Song is more or less a reflection on...
To the Wonder saw Malick returning to the “runaway romance” genre that had defined his ‘70s work, and as it begins, To the Wonder is a welcome return to that small scale. The film tells a more focused story of the American traveler Neil (Ben Affleck) and his new bride Marina (Olga Kurylenko), who fall in love in Paris and struggle to adjust to a ne...
Similar to Steven Spielberg’s The Sugarland Express, Badlands is an essential piece of the post-Bonnie and Clyde New Hollywood era by a filmmaker who would later adopt a completely different cinematic style. Compared to Malick’s more existential later work, Badlands is a road trip crime thriller attuned to the emerging counterculture movement. It’s...
Perhaps the most underrated film within Malick’s entire filmography, Knight of Cups shouldn’t have worked on paper. It actually couldn’t have worked on paper, as while Malick had loose story outlines, none of the actors received any actual pages. Malick frequently relied on improvisation, placing actors in unknown scenarios and gauging their authen...
The New World is Malick’s most misunderstood film, a box office bomb that was characterized as sluggish by early reviews. The imagined romance between Pocahontos (Q'orianka Kilcher) and Captain John Smith (Colin Farrell) is entirely fictitious, but Malick is less interested in historical accuracy as he is finding the inherent tragedy at the dawn of...
Traditional criticism would state that within every good three hour movie is a two hour masterpiece, but Malick’s latest film A Hidden Life absolutely demands its epic runtime. Malick reflects on how martyrdom is so easily deified, but rarely taken as the act of strength that it is. Rebellion is exciting and often intrinsic, but A Hidden Life depic...
At this point all three of Malick’s top three films are easily interchangeable; each is a masterpiece in its own right that best highlights a different stage of his career. The Thin Red Line came after Malick had taken a twenty year hiatus from filmmaking, and the World War II epic assembled a massive ensemble of virtually every hot young Hollywood...
It wouldn’t be hyperbole to make the statement that Days of Heaven is among the most beautiful films ever made. If Badlands showed Malick’s ability to capture a mood and energy, Days of Heaven showed he could tell a compelling narrative within a specific environment. It's an incredibly patient film that counterbalances stunning images of peacefulne...
Few filmmakers would dare to make a film aiming to encapsulate the totality of existence; Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey is the only thing that comes close in its ambition. Saying that Malick is “perfect” for the task may feel like an overreach, but his unique ability to explore the macro through the micro gives the director freedom to bui...
