Terrence Malick is one of the most important and controversial
filmmakers of the last few decades. Yet his renown does not stem
from box office receipts, but rather from his inimitable cinematic
vision that mixes luminous shots of nature, dreamlike voiceovers,
and plots centered on enduring existential questions. Although
scholars have thoroughly examined Malick's background in
philosophy, they have been slower to respond to his theological
concerns. This volume is the first to focus on the ways in which
Malick integrates theological inquiries and motifs into his films.
The book begins with an exploration of Malick's career as a
filmmaker and shows how his Heideggerian interests relate to
theology. Further essays from established and up-and-coming
scholars analyze seven of Malick's most prominent films - Badlands
(1973), Days of Heaven (1978), The Thin Red Line (1998), The New
World (2005), The Tree of Life (2011), To the Wonder (2012), and
Knight of Cups (2015) - to show how his cinematic techniques point
toward and overlap with principles of Christian theology. A
thorough study of an iconic filmmaker, this book is an essential
resource for students and scholars in the emerging field of
religion and film.
