Breathless

This movie's energy is infectious. I'm not surprised at all it's influenced Wong Kar-wai, as this film's and Wong's entire filmography perfectly set a mood and leave you wonderfully drunk off of it. How great a film is when you can feel guilty at the pleasure you experience while watching it. I was cold to this film at first, but have grown to love and appreciate it. (Adds extra star)

Lol, it happens. Yea I saw it at a theater, a small arthouse one though. There were like 7 people in there including myself. U? I'm not even sure what exactly he was trying to do and I haven't read any reviews yet, but I'm still not even sure what happens in the end. I don't think I could ever write him off though. Even in his films that I don't like (The Thin Red Line, The New World), there are so many scenes that are so beautiful, not just visually either (though that's clearly a large part). I remember thinking the first time I saw TOL, that he really has a way with matching operatic music with beautiful montages lol. Terry's musical choices are rather good now that I think about it. I thought the same thing today, especially with the Bardem montage, and the main one with McAdams, even though I think the film as a whole doesn't quite work. Even with all the beauty though I was never crazy about any Malick film...lots of specific scenes though lol.

'badlands' is still the only one i'm in love with ;) like u i didn't much like 'thin red line' or 'the new world' but 'tree of life' seemed promising

I liked TOL a good bit. It felt the closest thing to I think is the perfection of his craft. "Red Line" is definitely different from his previous efforts, more philosophical, his camera more restless, but still not as fleshed out as it could have been, same for "New World," but I think TOL is where he hit his stride. I hope he has some films at least as good or close to as good as TOL left in him.
