Lord, Forgive Us Our Cinema

29. The Tree of Life by Terrence Malick


Listen Later

Well, well, well. 
It’s about time we talked about some REAL cinema.

Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life is not your typical popcorn blockbuster fare. It’s a slow burning, meditative contemplation on familial loss and the feeling of God’s absence. At times it feels more like a poem or painting than it does a film. 

So join the Fab Four as we dive into our deepest film so far. We’ll ask timeless questions like, “Why do boys act like that?” and “Is that dinosaur a kind of Christ figure?”

You won’t wanna miss it. Thanks for being here!
