Home > Terrence Malick

 
Terrence Malick (born November 30 1943, Waco, Texas) is an enigmatic American film director and screenwriter. His reputation as a filmmaker rests on three pictures: " Badlands" (1973), " Days of Heaven" (1978), and " The Thin Red Line" (1998). "Badlands" and "Days of Heaven" are considered masterpieces of the Hollywood Renaissance.

Malick's work is often charecterized by naturalist cinematography and a meditative directoral and editing style. ( Martin Scorsese once commented that any frame of "Days of Heaven" could be blown up and hung on the wall.)

Malick grew up on a farm and worked as a farmhand before studying philosophy at Harvard. After graduating he went to Magdalen College, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar but left before finishing his thesis (on Martin Heidegger) after a disagreement with his advisor. He moved back to the United States and taught philosophy at MIT while freelancing as a journalist.

Malick is known as a recluse. After making his first two movies he disapeared from view for 20 years. Even now, his contracts stipulate that no current pictures of him are be published and that he is not obligated to do any personal promotion for his films.

Malick is currently filming "The New World," which is due for release in 2005.
