The Calm Before Tree of Life

Paul Maher over at Pop Matters writes up a rather intense look back at Terrence Malick, where he’s been, what he’s been doing, and then gathers up more bits and pieces culled from various sources about the mysterious film.¬†
A quote from Angelina Jolie:

“I would be the worst person to explain it, I think there’s something existential about it. It’s a kind of nuclear 1950s family, and [Brad] is a strong father.”

Worth a read.
