Life, the Universe and Everything: Malicks The Tree of Life (Frame by Frame) Course/Class January 27, 2012

The Tree of Life has been hailed by many as a modern American masterpiece; others claim that it is obscure, incoherent or excessively indulgent. We look closely at the film and its structure, sources, themes, meaning, style and aesthetic. When viewed carefully (and repeatedly), the film emerges as a cogent and powerful meditation on evolution and creation, life and death, sorrow and joy, time and eternity, fragmentation and unity, being and becoming, forgetting and recollection, and ultimately, estrangement, love and reconciliation.
