The Tree of Life

Presented on 35mm

Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival

Terrence Malick’s toweringly ambitious masterwork frames the coming-of-age story of a young boy in 1950s Texas within a cosmic tapestry of space, time, and memory. A film as emotionally rich as it is philosophical, The Tree of Life features career-best performances from Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain, along with some of the greatest cinematography of the 21st Century (if not ever) from three-time Academy Award winner Emmanuel Lubezki (Gravity, The Revenant).

"Better than a masterpiece—whatever that is—The Tree of Life is an eruption of a movie, something to live with, think, and talk about afterward.
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
"With disarming sincerity and daunting formal sophistication The Tree of Life ponders some of the hardest and most persistent questions, the kind that leave adults speechless when children ask them."
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

This film is part of the The New Classics series.
