WoW I just saw that movie, walking home feelt like I was
stoned, man that was a great movie! As someone wrote about
the movie:
This film was everything I had hoped for and infinite
volumes more. Writer/Director Terrence Malik simply refuses
to see film-making as anything short of an art form and
handles his brushes (not to mention every frame) with the
tender care and command of an artistic master.

The warnings are true... if you're looking for standard
Hollywood fare, then run away. However, if you were trying
hard to remember what film-making is supposed to be about,
then this film is an absolute MUST SEE. While it is not
forcefully spiritual in its aural narrative, I found this
film to be a deeply religious experience in ways that words
fail to express.

True to form, Malik affords the world of this film as much
character as the humans themselves possess. Long stretches
of nothing but ambient, nat sounds. Stunning snapshots of
the peripheral influences to each scene (i.e. blowing grass,
running streams, towering trees). Even an ending title
sequence that lives beyond the narrative... breathing the
last breaths of a tale that has managed to regularly
transcends words.

Sharp. Detailed. Purposeful. Bold. Brilliant.

I TOTALY AGREE! YOU GUYS HAVE TO SEE THIS ONE!!!

Yup. I was lucky to see this at a theatre near by which
occasionally shows "art" movies. I agree that it's not
"forcefully spiritual", if it were I'd had walked out. I
can't stand metaphysical mumbo-jumbo. Although this "if you
were trying hard to remember what film-making is supposed to
be about" is just plain stupid.

Sounds like a proper review of Russian Ark to me. I'll check
out this one.

i've read that the initial cut was much longer, with more
focus on the 'poetic shots'. after the first previews it was
decided to cut some out. i thought that version was around
30 or 45 mins longer, not sure.

playing some time ago here.
