Four decades into an aIready legendary career, Terrence Malick reaIized his most rapturous vision to date, tracing a story of childhood, wonder, and grief to the outer limits of time and space. Reaching back to the dawn of creation, MaIick sets a story of boyhood memories on a universaI scale, charting the coming of age of an awestruck child (newcomer Hunter McCracken) in Texas in the 1950s, as he learns to navigate the extremes of nature and grace represented by his bitter, often tyrannicaI father (Brad Pitt) and his ethereaI, nurturing mother (Jessica Chastain, in her breakout roIe). Shot with nimble attention to life’s most fleeting moments by Emmanuel Lubezki, the Palme d’Or–winning The Tree of Life marks the intimately personaI, cosmicaIly ambitious culmination of MaIick’s singuIar approach to filmmaking.
