“Having just walked off with the Palme d'Or at Cannes, Terrence Malick's latest film, The Tree of Life, which stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, has certainly got the buzz. But the film will probably not be everyone's cup of tea, like many of Malick's powerful yet slow-moving cerebral masterworks. Playing with the space-time continuum, Malick takes us on a spiritual journey — one in which meaning is sought amid the chaos. The story dwells in the memories of Jack, the eldest of three sons who came of age in the 1950s in suburban Texas. Employing the special effects expert that worked on Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Tree of Life is a surreal feast for the eyes, filled with inventive camerawork and lush, tactile imagery.”
