THE CINEMA OF TERRENCE MALICK

With 2005’s The New World, one of cinema’s most enigmatic and original filmmakers returned to the screen with only his fourth feature film in a career of over thirty years. This updated second edition of The Cinema of Terrence Malick continues its explorations of identity, place and existence in his films, with three new essays by Adrian Martin, Mark Cousins and James Morrison on The New World, as well as analysis of Badlands (1973), Days of Heaven (1978) and The Thin Red Line (1998).

praise for the first edition:

'This comprehensive study explores his unique vision and illuminates every facet of his work.'
Martin Sheen

'[An] exemplary study... one of the most useful books of film criticism in a while.... The book's greatest virtue is that it makes you want to watch [Malick's films] again -- but this time with greater understanding.'
Time Out 

praise for the second edition:

'At its strongest moments, this book makes us freshly aware of Malick's tremendous skill for images, buffeted by additional layers of sound which may or may not contradict the image, in sustaining mood ... Whether or not you know the films, The Cinema of Terrence Malick is a thorough appraisal of a director whose work certainly justifies the attention'.
