Malick began his career as part of the New Hollywood film-making wave with the films Badlands (1973), about a murderous couple on the run in 1950s American Midwest, and Days of Heaven (1978), [2] which detailed the love-triangle between two labourers and a wealthy farmer in the First World War, before a lengthy hiatus. He returned to directing with The Thin Red Line (1998), The New World (2005), and The Tree of Life (2011), being awarded the Golden Bear at the 49th Berlin International Film Festival and the Palme d'Or at the 64th Cannes Film Festival, respectively. Malick's films have explored themes such as transcendence, nature, and conflicts between reason and instinct. They are typically marked by broad philosophical and spiritual overtones, as well as the use of meditative voice-overs from individual characters. The stylistic elements of the director's work have inspired divided opinions among film scholars and audiences; some praised his films for their cinematography and aesthetics, while others found them lacking in plot and character development. His first five films have nonetheless ranked highly in retrospective decade-end and all-time polls. Early life [ edit] Martin Heidegger 's Vom Wesen Des Grundes (The Essence of Reasons) was translated into English by Malick and published in 1969. Terrence Malick was born in Ottawa, Illinois. [3] [4] He is the son of Irene (née Thompson; 1912?2011) [5] and Emil A. Malick (1917?2013), [6] a geologist. [7] His paternal grandparents were of Lebanese and Assyrian descent. [8] [9] [7] [10] Malick attended St. Stephen's Episcopal School in Austin, Texas, while his family lived in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. [11] Malick had two younger brothers: Chris and Larry. Larry Malick was a guitarist who went to study in Spain with Andrés Segovia in the late 1960s. In 1968, Larry intentionally broke his own hands due to pressure over his musical studies. [12] Their father Emil went to Spain to help Larry, but his son died shortly after, apparently committing suicide. [13] The early death of Malick's younger brother has been explored and referenced in his films The Tree of Life (2011) and Knight of Cups (2015). [14] [15] Malick received a B. A. in philosophy from Harvard College, graduating summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1965. He did graduate work at Magdalen College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar. After a disagreement with his advisor, Gilbert Ryle, over his thesis on the concept of world in Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Wittgenstein, Malick left Oxford without a degree. [16] In 1969, Northwestern University Press published Malick's translation of Heidegger 's Vom Wesen des Grundes as The Essence of Reasons. After returning to the United States, Malick taught philosophy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology while freelancing as a journalist. He wrote articles for Newsweek, The New Yorker, and Life. [17] Film career [ edit] Early career [ edit] Malick started his film career after earning an MFA from the brand-new AFI Conservatory in 1969, directing the short film Lanton Mills. At the AFI, he established contacts with people such as actor Jack Nicholson, longtime collaborator Jack Fisk, and agent Mike Medavoy, who procured for Malick freelance work revising scripts. He wrote early uncredited drafts of Dirty Harry (1971) and Drive, He Said (1971), and is credited with the screenplay for Pocket Money (1972). [18] Malick was also co-writer of The Gravy Train (1974), under the pseudonym David Whitney. After one of his screenplays, Deadhead Miles, was made into what Paramount Pictures believed was an unreleasable film, Malick decided to direct his own scripts. 1970s [ edit] Badlands [ edit] Malick during production of Badlands (1973) Malick's first feature-length work as a director was Badlands, an independent film starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek as a young couple on a crime spree in the 1950s Midwest. It was influenced by the crimes of convicted teenage spree killer Charles Starkweather. [19] Malick raised half of the budget by approaching people outside of the industry, including doctors and dentists, and by contributing $25, 000 from his personal savings. The rest was raised by executive producer Edward R. Pressman. [20] [21] After a troubled production that included many crew members leaving halfway through the shoot, Badlands drew raves upon its premiere at the New York Film Festival. As a result, Warner Bros. bought distribution rights for three times its budget. [22] Days of Heaven [ edit] Malick's second film was the Paramount -produced Days of Heaven, about a love triangle that develops in the farm country of the Texas Panhandle in the early 20th century. Production began in the fall of 1976 in Alberta, Canada. The film was mostly shot during the golden hour, with primarily natural light. Much like Malick's first feature, Days of Heaven had a lengthy and troubled production, with several members of the production crew quitting before shooting was finished, mainly due to disagreements over Malick's idiosyncratic directorial style. [23] The film likewise had a troubled post-production phase, as Billy Weber and Malick spent two years editing, during which they experimented with unconventional editing and voice-over techniques once they realized the picture they had set out to make would not fully work. [24] Days of Heaven was finally released in 1978 to mostly positive responses from critics. [25] [26] Its cinematography was widely praised, although some found its story lackluster. [27] [28] In The New York Times, Harold C. Schonberg wrote that it "is full of elegant and striking photography; and it is an intolerably artsy, artificial film. " [29] However, it later won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography and the prize for Best Director at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival. Days of Heaven has since grown in stature, [30] having been voted one of the 50 greatest American films ever made in a 2015 critics' poll published by BBC. [31] Hiatus [ edit] Following the release of Days of Heaven, Malick began developing a project for Paramount, titled Q, that explored the origins of life on earth. During pre-production, he suddenly moved to Paris and disappeared from public view for years. [32] During this time, he wrote a number of screenplays, including The English Speaker, about Josef Breuer 's analysis of Anna O. ; adaptations of Walker Percy 's novel The Moviegoer and Larry McMurtry 's The Desert Rose; [32] a script about Jerry Lee Lewis; and a stage adaptation of the Japanese film Sansho the Bailiff which was to be directed by Polish filmmaker Andrzej Wajda, in addition to continuing work on the Q script. [33] Although Q has never been made, Malick's work for the project provided material for his later film The Tree of Life [34] and eventually became the basis for Voyage of Time. Jack Fisk, a longtime production designer on the director's films, said that Malick was shooting film during this time as well. [35] Return to cinema [ edit] The Thin Red Line [ edit] Malick returned to directing with The Thin Red Line, a work released two decades after his previous film. A loose adaptation of James Jones' World War II novel of the same name, it features a large ensemble cast including Sean Penn, Adrien Brody, and George Clooney. Filming took place predominantly in the Daintree Rainforest in Queensland, Australia, and the Solomon Islands. [36] The film received critical acclaim, [37] [38] was nominated for seven Academy Awards, and won the Golden Bear at the 49th Berlin International Film Festival. [39] The Thin Red Line has since been ranked among the best films of the 1990s in Complex, [40] The A. V. Club, [41] Slant, [42] Paste, [43] and Film Comment. [44] The New World [ edit] After learning of Malick's work on an article about Che Guevara during the 1960s, Steven Soderbergh offered Malick the chance to write and direct a film about Guevara that he had been developing with Benicio del Toro. Malick accepted and produced a screenplay focused on Guevara's failed revolution in Bolivia. [45] After a year and a half, the financing had not come together entirely, and Malick was given the opportunity to direct The New World, [46] a script he had begun developing in the 1970s. [47] He left the Guevara project in March 2004, [46] and Soderbergh took over as director, leading to the film Che (2008). The New World, which featured a romantic interpretation of the story of John Smith and Pocahontas in the Virginia Colony, was released in 2005. Over one million feet of film were shot, and three different cuts of varying lengths were released. While the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography, critical reception was divided throughout its theatrical run; many praised its visuals and acting while finding its narrative unfocused. [48] However, The New World was later named by five critics as one of the best films of its decade, [49] and appeared in 39th place on a 2016 BBC poll of the greatest films since 2000. [50] 2010s [ edit] The Tree of Life [ edit] Malick's fifth feature, The Tree of Life, was filmed in Smithville, Texas, and elsewhere during 2008. Starring Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain, and Sean Penn, it is a family drama spanning multiple tim
