The Tree of Life (2011)
Reclusive auteur Terrence Malick may have only made 5 films in 40 years, but his works always are significant and worth watching. His latest feature won the Palme D'Or at Cannes earlier this year...
To be screened Saturday evening...
Papillon:
ReplyDeleteWith so many films we've had on here I'd almost forgotten about this one, but then you can't forget the realness of scenes like McQueen eating a cockroach and you remember just what a fantastic prison escape and aventure film this is.
Tree of Life:
While I was impressed by the visuals and respect the ambition and scope of this film, I wasn't very keen on it when I saw it, the fragmentary way to tell the story didn't seem to have much point to me and neither did Sean Penn's tiny cameo role.
