VOYAGE OF TIME: LIFE’S JOURNEY

Synopsis

In discussion of cinematic “world-building,” contemporary conversation tends to drift towards comic-book movies, the fantastical creations that populate the multiplexes, or the self-contained refractions of reality crafted by the likes of Wes Anderson and the Coen brothers. However, few American auteurs have managed to construct as singular a filmic universe as Terrence Malick. His is a world of hushed whispers and natural wonder, a cinema of poetry. The cadence of its voice-overs, the rhythms of its editing and photography, and the ideas that permeate it are all uniquely his.
