Summary

The concluding episode of our series with Steven DeLay on the films of Terrence Malick. Thomas gives a speculative explanation for why Voyage of Time (2016) was so unwatchably bad. We have an extended discussion about the beautiful depiction of Christian martyrdom in Malick's 2019 film A Hidden Life, which portrays the life of Franz Jägerstätter, a conscientious objector under the Nazi regime. Brett (rejoining the Malick series for the first time since the initial three episodes) gives his opinion on some of the films that Thomas and Steven have analyzed in recent entries. Finally, we talk about our overall impression of Malick's work and career and give our picks for his best and worst films (in terms of both themes and craftsmanship). https://twitter.com/StevenDeLay4 https://stevendelay.com/ https://sunypress.edu/Books/L/Life-Above-the-Clouds https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema [email protected] [email protected]
