Theology and the Films of Terrence Malick

Beschreibung

This volume is the first to focus on the ways in which Terrence Malick integrates theological inquiries and motifs into his films. Essays from established and up-and-coming scholars analyze seven of Malick's films - Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line, The New World, The Tree of Life, To the Wonder, and Knight of Cups - to show how his cinematic techniques point toward and overlap with principles of Christian theology.
