Terrence Malick is back in the director’s chair later this year with the long awaited The Tree of Life, which stars Sean Penn and Brad Pitt.
The Tree of Life is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950’s.
The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt).
Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith.
Through Malick’s signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life.
The Tree of Life is released 4th May. Here is the first poster for the film:
