The Hidden Life of Terrence Malick (Screen Classics)
John Bleasdale
Terrence Malick is the most enigmatic film director currently working. Since the early 1970s, his work has won top prizes at film festivals and brought him recognition, which has been in decline.
His life is shrouded in mystery, leaving audiences with rumors, few established facts, and virtual silence from the filmmaker himself.
This has done nothing to dim the luminous quality of his films, from Badlands (1973) and Days of Heaven (1978), to later works such as The Thin Red Line (1998), The Tree of Life (2011), and A Hidden Life (2019).
The Magic Hours: The Films and Hidden Life of Terrence Malick is the first biography of this visionary filmmaker. Through interviews and in-depth research, John Bleasdale reveals the autobiographical grounding of many of Malick’s films as well as the development of experimental form of filmmaking.
