From Terrence Malick, the acclaimed director of such classic films as ˝Badlands,˝ ˝Days of Heaven˝ and ˝The Thin Red Line,˝ ˝The Tree of Life˝ is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950´s. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick´s signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life.
