Terrence Malick’s reclusive nature coupled with his infrequent forays into filmmaking guarantees that when he does make a movie, the anticipation level amongst his modest, but devoted fanbase will run high. Even by Malick’s standards though, the excitement surrounding the director’s fifth feature The Tree of Life has been particularly intense.
