THE TREE OF LIFE (2011)
SYNOPSIS
From Terrence Malick, the acclaimed director of such
classic films as Badlands, Days of Heaven and The
Thin Red Line, The Tree of Life is the impressionistic
story of a Midwestern family in the 1950's. The film
follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through
the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult
years as he tries to reconcile a complicated
relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as
an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the
modern world, seeking answers to the origins and
meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith.
Through Malick's signature imagery, we see how both
brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our
lives as individuals and families, but all life. -- (C) Fox
