Malick’s brave ’New World’
By Joe Pudas | Jan. 23, 2006Terrence Malick is probably the most enigmatic director alive today, having made only four films over the past 30-plus years. As he has spent most of his time teaching philosophy, Malick essentially moonlights in film, and every time he ventures out to make another, it becomes an event for cinephiles. Like the similarly reclusive Stanley Kubrick, Malick is a striking visionary whose work eschews conventional storytelling techniques. Malick's latest film, 'The New World,' is his most stylistically extreme and will undoubtedly inspire divisive reactions, but for those who are not put off by its deliberate pace, it is a lush, intoxicating masterwork.
