Terrence Malick may probably be the most introspective director of his generation. His short, but outstanding filmpgraphy, sails in deep dilemma of human condition and its purpose in life.
As well as in The thin red line (1998) and The new world, his latest movie The tree of life,-with his unique existencial style-, unveils all its characters through their toughts and reflexions and sees beyond the few dialogues occuring among them.
Starred by Brad Pitt and amazing actress Jessica Chastain, and with a small but meaningful participation of Sean Penn, is the perfect example of a director in constant search for understanding the origins of life, as well as the often unpredictable human behavior.

With a slow pace, sometimes intricated, accompanied by the majestic Requiem of Mozart and the precious filmography of Emmanuel Lubezki, The Tree of life is a film for those who enojoy movies as an artistic expression before a commercial point of view.
The story, located on the 1950s' U.S., moved me numerous times and once dissected, depressed me a little bit. But I strongly believe that's about what Mr. Malick wishes to provoke in his films: To question ourselves about the very origin of our acts, and their consequences. In this occasion, it's accomplished trough a emotional mosaic and intensities full of color, shapes and ideas.

I don't know if it's for everybody, but those who dare to watch with open mind and awaken senses, won't regret it.
