Terrence Malick has developed one of the most unique and distinctive visual styles in contemporary American cinema. In this video, I investigate the elements of this style and what the motivation behind it might be.

I feel like Malick films in a way how a child sees the world with a focus on people. There's a constant newness that I think allows for wonder and a spontaneity that keeps you engaged.

Mallick is one of the directors who recognises film as FILM, as a unique, independent art-form and not just an extension of prose-writing. One of the big reasons why I appreciate his work so much.

He makes you feel like you're a ghost in the scene with the characters, watching their stories and exploring that area in real time. It's incredible.
213 |
"He was willing to not play by the rules, because he was willing to not play at all" stunned me - so incredibly well-said, and truly captures Malick's motivation

When Jessica Chastain follows and interacts with a butterfly in The Tree of Life will always be among one of my favourite shots of all time
112 |
It’s almost as if a disembodied spirit is watching the scenes unfold.

Malick has to be one of the most polarizing modern directors today; universally respected as filmmaker, often criticized as a storyteller.
304 |
When you can identify his work by his style, he has succeeded as an artist. You don't have to like him, but you can still respect him.
44 |
Malick makes me cry at odd times during his films for the oddest reasons. I have a good cry when I watch a Malick film
232 |
Malick is one of the very few filmmakers who captures the most elusive and highest value in human existence: transcendence. To encounter the world, with all its noise and fury, from up close and yet far away in peace and stillness at the same time.
71 |
I feel like sound design is just as important of an aspect to Malick's films as his cinematography or narrative style. I was watching Brave New World the other day which was my third Malick film, and that type of "whisper" dialogue and the use of a certain kind of classical music accompanying specific types of shots is as much a trademark of a Malick film as shot composition and editing.

Loved this one!

Man, I'd love to see video like this on Paul Thomas Anderson. Specially how he transitioned into being more and more precise and patient.

This channel has convinced me to try Terrance's work and Bergman tooo.

I love your work

I feel every one of the shots you've used in this remind me of how memories feel. Really beautiful.

I love his films but I can't watch them often because they do just expose the soul and so many feelings and then they stick with you for days making you think about your own life in a vulnerable way.
10 |
I actually never watched any other Malick Film besides "Thin Red line" a long time ago - I guess I will in the future.
The older I get, the more I get tired of movies that give you a neat answer to a simplified problem and want to teach you an trite life lesson. I surely prefer them to evoke all kinds of conflicting feelings and leave you with many ideas and thoughts and a sense of being connected to something immensly bigger. Sound like Malick is delivering just that ;D

I was the UK camera trainee on 'The New World' and had the honour of being with Terrence, holding a small, wireless, clamshell monitor so he could watch the steadicam shots in the gardens at Hatfield House. Just him and I. He would ask what I thought of the shot and I was so nervous that I didn't say too much in fear of saying the wrong thing to such an icon. But you could sense his brilliance by just watching him. Always analysing and thinking. To this day, it is still the moment I cherish most in my career.
