A Hidden Life (Terrence Malick, December 13, 2019) Movie

We still have Weightless and The Voyage of Time yet to be released, but Malick's got another movie lined up - a WWII biopic about Franz Jagerstutter starring August Diehl.

SPOILERS FOR HISTORY:

Terrence Malick to Tackle WWII Biopic 'Radegund'

 

yes

 

Stoked

 

okay

 

Spoilers for history?

 

The last time Malick tackled WWII he made one of my favorite films ever, so hopes are high for this one.

 

Terrence Malick Plans to Release 'Radegund' & Perfume Commercial with Angelina Jolie in 2017

 

Cool

 

I don't know if I'm ready for four Malick films in two years.

 

This is called A Hidden Life now and is all but confirmed to be premiering at Cannes next month. Can't believe we're living in a decade where SIX Malick films got released.

Terrence Malick’s latest film is now called A Hidden Life

 

Not only is it going to play at Cannes, but Terence Malick is producing a documentary about Lil Peep.

 

Current cut is apparently 3 hours assording to Cannes website.

 

This is wild

 

Extremely short clip, but this is the first footage out there

 

very here for him going back to a period piece.

 

A clip that short feels like trolling.

 

seen some reaction on twitter, seems to be what you would expect from Malick

 

Honestly, I rarely trust critics on Malick, especially festival reviews. But will be curious to see what some of my favorites who are at the fest have to say.

 

adore all of his films, even the extremely indulgent ones, so ill likely enjoy this no matter what. plus getting to see bruno ganz one more time is just terrific. malick and film critics is an interesting minefield. there is a sense I think that he appeals to the elitist/art house critics only, a sort of upper echelon, which I'm not necessarily sure is even true anymore

 

I agree. I feel like his obscuring of narrative really puts people off, but most of his films have some sort of expression of universal human emotions.

I think it’s a minority opinion, but I really think Knight of Cups and Song to Song are among his very best works (next to The Tree of Life and The Thin Red Line), so I’m arguably more excited for what he’s up to now than in the beginning of the decade.

 

What does that mean, exactly? Every reaction I've read is some variation on "return to form," "best film since Tree of Life," etc.

 

I only saw it the one time in theater but I loved Song to Song and didn’t find it so inaccessible

 

I fully stand behind To the Wonder/Knight of Cups/Song to Song as a poetic trilogy that will absolutely be re-evaluated in like ten years.

 

Can someone change the title for this?

 

A Hidden Life set for Dec 13 release.
