Many critics have approached Terrence Malick's work from a
philosophical perspective, arguing that his films express
philosophy through cinema. With their remarkable images of nature,
poetic voiceovers, and meditative reflections, Malick's cinema
certainly invites philosophical engagement. In Terrence Malick:
Filmmaker and Philosopher, Robert Sinnerbrink takes a different
approach, exploring Malick's work as a case of cinematic ethics:
films that evoke varieties of ethical experience, encompassing
existential, metaphysical, and religious perspectives. Malick's
films are not reducible to a particular moral position or
philosophical doctrine; rather, they solicit ethically significant
forms of experience, encompassing anxiety and doubt, wonder and
awe, to questioning and acknowledgment, through aesthetic
engagement and poetic reflection. Drawing on a range of thinkers
and approaches from Heidegger and Cavell, Nietzsche and
Kierkegaard, to phenomenology and moral psychology Sinnerbrink
explores how Malick's films respond to the problem of nihilism the
loss of conviction or belief in prevailing forms of value and
meaning and the possibility of ethical transformation through
cinema: from self-transformation in our relations with others to
cultural transformation via our attitudes towards towards nature
and the world. Sinnerbrink shows how Malick's later films, from The
Tree of Life to Voyage of Time, provide unique opportunities to
explore cinematic ethics in relation to the crisis of belief, the
phenomenology of love, and film's potential to invite moral
transformation.
