No.2 - The Tree of Life
《生命之樹》

It took Terrence Malick 30 years to make four movies, so when the lyrical director of Days of Heaven has a new project on the way, consider that an event. It stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, two of our most accomplished character actors, and it’s about… god knows what. The period piece, set around the 1950s, has a plot that has been kept top secret. The only official tidbit reveals that the film revolves around a boy’s loss of innocence. But rumors are circulating, and they say Tree of Life is Malick’s most ambitious project to date. It may or may not have segments that deal with the prehistoric or even evolution (Tree of Life, get it) and it may be released in IMAX. True or not, just the suggestion of Terrence Malick’s spectacular visuals in IMAX gets us tickled with anticipation.
