A French Impressionist Critical Approach to Terrence Malick's
Life in Movement: A French Impressionist Critical Approach to Terrence Malick’s Films By Matthew Sellers Johnson A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree Master of Arts in Film Victoria University of Wellington 2021 i ii Abstract Terrence Malick’s films from Badlands (1973) to The Tree of Life (2011) have generally received critical praise, as well as being the focus of detailed scholarly work. By contrast, his more recent films, what Robert Sinnerbrink refers to as the “Weightless trilogy” with To the Wonder (2012), Knight of Cups (2015) and Song to Song (2017), have been widely criticised and have been largely neglected academically. This thesis endeavours to situate the aesthetic features of these three films within a conceptual framework based in French Impressionist film theory and criticism. I will argue the ways in which these three films use natural light, gestures, close- ups, kinetic images and complex editing in relation to Germaine Dulac’s notions of pure cinema and Jean Epstein’s concept of photogénie. Moreover, these ideas can also be applied to films such as Days of Heaven (1978), The Thin Red Line (1998) and The Tree of Life. Thus, it is my contention that despite the significant changes to his filmmaking style evident in the Weightless trilogy, he remains a highly poetic director interested in the interior lives of his characters and the rhythms of life. iii Acknowledgements The following thesis would not be possible without the academic and personal support of the following people. First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr.

Museum of the Moving Image Presents Comprehensive Terrence Malick Retrospective
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE PRESENTS COMPREHENSIVE TERRENCE MALICK RETROSPECTIVE Moments of Grace: The Collected Terrence Malick includes all of his features, some alternate versions, and a preview screening of his new film A Hidden Life November 15–December 8, 2019 Astoria, New York, November 12, 2019—In celebration of Terrence Malick’s new film, the deeply spiritual, achingly ethical, and politically resonant A Hidden Life, Museum of the Moving Image presents the comprehensive retrospective Moments of Grace: The Collected Terrence Malick, from November 15 through December 8. The films in the series span a period of nearly 50 years, opening with Malick’s 1970s breakthroughs Badlands (1973) and Days of Heaven (1978), through his career-revival masterworks The Thin Red Line (1998) and The New World (2005), and continuing with his 21st- century films—from Cannes Palme d’Or winner The Tree of Life (2011); the trio of To the Wonder (2012), Knight of Cups (2015), and Song to Song (2017); and sole documentary project Voyage of Time (2016)—through to this year’s A Hidden Life. Two of these films will be presented in alternate versions—Voyage of Time and The New World—a testament to Malick’s ambitious and exploratory approach to editing. In addition to Malick’s own feature films, the series includes Pocket Money (1972), an ambling buddy comedy with Lee Marvin and Paul Newman, which he wrote (but did not direct), and Thy Kingdom Come (2018), the documentary featurette shot on the set of To the Wonder by photographer Eugene Richards.

A Ghost Story
Presents A GHOST STORY A film by David Lowery (93 min., USA, 2017) Language: English Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1352 Dundas St. West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1Y2 Fax: 416-488-8438 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com @MongrelMedia MongrelMedia SYNOPSIS With A GHOST STORY acclaimed director David Lowery (AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS, PETE'S DRAGON) returns with a singular exploration of legacy, loss, and the essential human longing for meaning and connection. Recently deceased, a white-sheeted ghost (Academy Award-winner Casey Affleck) returns to his suburban home to console his bereft wife (Academy Award-nominee Rooney Mara), only to find that in his spectral state he has become unstuck in time, forced to watch passively as the life he knew and the woman he loves slowly slip away. Increasingly unmoored, the ghost embarks on a cosmic journey through memory and history, confronting life’s ineffable questions and the enormity of existence. An unforgettable meditation on love and grief, A GHOST STORY emerges ecstatic and surreal — a wholly unique experience that lingers long after the credits roll. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Months before delighting global audiences with the critically acclaimed PETE’S DRAGON remake for the Walt Disney Company in the summer of 2016, writer-director David Lowery was already immersed in his next project — an independently produced, under-the-radar ghost story set in his native Texas that reunites the stars of his breakout feature, AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS.

Production Notes Starring: Kara Hayward, Liana Liberato, Jordana Spiro, Shea Whigham with Malin Akerman and Tony Hale Directed By: Martha Stephens Written By: Shannon Bradley-Colleary Run Time: 111 Minutes Rating: Not Rated Press Contacts: Katrina Wan / [email protected] / 323-240-9996 Tatum Wan / [email protected] / 818-590-1530 1 SYNOPSIS: In a god-fearing small town in 1960s Oklahoma, bespectacled and reclusive teen Iris endures the booze-induced antics of her mother and daily doses of bullying from her classmates. She finds solace in Maggie, the charismatic and enigmatic new girl at school, who hones in on Iris’s untapped potential and coaxes her out of her shell. When Maggie’s mysterious past can no longer be suppressed, the tiny community is thrown into a state of panic, leaving Maggie to take potentially drastic measures and inciting Iris to stand up for her friend and herself. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: I heard decaying leaves chatter and scrape against the dusty storefronts. Below the suffocating vastness of prairie skies, I caught the whispers of endless rows of corn. There was the rustle of fussy dress skirts flapping against whistling winds. The sanctuary of night swimming beckoned, promising boldness and mystery. A cold trickle from wet hair dripped down the base of my spine. I knew the hardscrabble farming community of WaKeeney, Kansas: it’s the type of small American town in which a shy teenager can live out her life and end up feeling anonymous. Yearning hangs like a fog over the central characters in TO THE STARS. Maggie pines to be accepted as she is, a lesbian; or otherwise to wish away her sexuality and be the model daughter that her parents expect.

Naturalism in Cinematography: Examining the Work of Emmanuel Lubezki
40 — Elon Journal of Undergraduate Research in Communications, Vol. 12, No. 1 • Spring 2021 Naturalism in Cinematography: Examining the Work of Emmanuel Lubezki Mallory Siegenthaler Cinema and Television Arts Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract Films would not have the same emotional and visual impact on viewers without a cinematographer. Cinematographers are responsible for eliciting audience emotion through various camera techniques. They do not receive significant recognition from the general audience for their contributions to films. Emmanuel Lubezki is a contemporary filmmaker with many credits and awards to support his mastery in cinematography. This study analyzes six films that Lubezki shot for three distinct directors. These films each earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Cinematography. The findings suggest a feeling of naturalism to Lubezki’s visual style across all film titles. I. Introduction In Alfonso Cuarón’s dystopian thriller Children of Men (2006), Theo Faron (played by Clive Owen), sits in the back of a car alongside two other characters. In front are the driver, Luke (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor), and Julian (played by Julianne Moore). They are on a paved road in a wooded area. Theo and Julian banter with each other, then blow a ping pong ball back and forth. The passengers are laughing. However, they are interrupted when a flaming car rolls down the hill and crashes into the road.A crowd of people rush down the hill and start attacking the car. Luke puts the car in reverse and presses the gas pedal.

Revelation of God Through Film: Theological Aesthetics and Beauty As Transcendental Applied to Films of Terrence Malick and Andrey Zvyagintsev
Kondyuk, Revelation of God through Film 51 Revelation of God through Film: Theological Aesthetics and Beauty as Transcendental Applied to Films of Terrence Malick and Andrey Zvyagintsev Denys Kondyuk God cannot be viewed and cannot be comprehended, but is there a possibility of God being revealed through a film? There are several ways used by the Church to represent God in worship: worship through singing or music, visual worship through icons, and participation in dramatic performance. In this study, the methodology of finding God in films is suggested and applied to some films. It is based on works on theological aesthetics by John Panteleimon Manoussakis and David Bentley Hart. The films of Terrence Malick and Andrey Zvyagintsev are used as examples. One of the main ideas of this study is related to viewing God through Jesus as God who can be comprehended (in some way) and incorporating Christological reading of reality into film analysis. There is also a strong emphasis on the interpersonal dimension of film experience as theological aesthetic experience. Keywords Aesthetic theology; beauty; God in film; interpersonal Introduction The topic of addressing ways through which we might comprehend God is not new, yet new media forms raise new questions of how God can be comprehended. There are many ways that have been used by the Church to represent God in worship. We perform worship through singing or using musical accompaniment; visual worship by contemplating through icons, paintings, and statues; and worship through participation in dramatic performance. On the other hand, the relatively young field of film making is still in the process of finding its way into the Christian worship experience.
