“It’s this little tiny story of a kid growing up in the 50s with a mother who’s grace incarnate and a father who’s oppressive in nature. So he is negotiating his way through it, defining who he’s gonna be when he grows up. And that is juxtaposed with a little, tiny micro-story of the cosmos, from the beginning of the cosmos to the death of the cosmos.”
So… what upcoming film is its lead actor describing?
Only the movie I’m most eager to see in 2010.
Tree of Life
Transformers III?
Marma-duped!
Yup, this is indeed high on the list for this year’s viewing.
and it is NOT in the Cannes lineup announced today. Drat.
Terence Malick is fantastic, but can any director successfully manage a micro-story that ranges from the beginning to the death of the cosmos? Beware of high expectations, but you can’t say Malick isn’t asking for it with such a project.
