Tree of Life, directed by Terrence Malick


Tree of life starring Sean Penn, Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain has won Palme d'Or at the Cannes this year. The film has come out in US and is directed by the reclusive director Terrence Malick who has directed 5 films so far in a career spanning almost 30 years. I have seen Badlands, Days of Heaven and Thin Red Line which were all brilliant.

The title of the film, the biblical 'Tree of Life' was also seen as a concept used in Darren Aronofsky's film 'The Fountain'.


This new film from the brilliant director Terrence Malick sounds really promising. Should get down to watching 'The New World' with Colin Farrell which came out in 2004. Another film which is untitled is set to come out next year from Terrence. That films has Javier Bardem, Rachel McAdams, Ben Affleck Among others. Great to know that Terrence is making up for lost time, hopefully without compromising on quality.
