Tree of Life (2011 Terence Malick & scr)

Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain, Hunter McCracken, Laramie Eppler.

Photographed by Emmanuel Lubezki. Music by Alexandre Desplat.

Hypnotic event, giant. How does Malick get the performances out of the boys? Utterly extraordinary and unlike anything else, though made me think of Tarkovsky a lot. Sean Penn's in this film. Also amazingly edited, plus roving Steadicam gives it intense momentum.

P.S. 3/11/23. Wonder how much I'd still like it after Song To Song...
