The Tree Of Life - Blu-Ray (Used)
Four decades into an already legendary career, Terrence Malick realized his most rapturous vision to date, tracing a story of childhood, wonder, and grief to the outer limits of time and space. Reaching back to the dawn of creation, Malick sets a story of boyhood memories on a universal scale, charting the coming of age of an awestruck child (newcomer Hunter McCracken) in Texas in the 1950s, as he learns to navigate the extremes of nature and grace represented by his bitter, often tyrannical father (Brad Pitt) and his ethereal, nurturing mother (Jessica Chastain, in her breakout role). Shot with nimble attention to life’s most fleeting moments by Emmanuel Lubezki, the Palme d’Or–winning The Tree of Life marks the intimately personal, cosmically ambitious culmination of Malick’s singular approach to filmmaking.brbr DIRECTOR-APPROVED TWO-BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESbr • New 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by director Terrence Malick and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackbr • New extended version of the film featuring an additional fifty minutes of footage br • Exploring “The Tree of Life,” a 2011 documentary featuring collaborators and admirers of Malick’s, including filmmakers David Fincher and Christopher Nolanbr • New interviews with actor Jessica Chastain and visual-effects supervisor Dan Glassbr • Interview from 2011 with composer Alexandre Desplat about the film, and a new interview with music critic Alex Ross about Malick’s approach to musicbr • Video essay from 2011 by critic Matt Zoller Seitzbr • Trailerbr • More!br • PLUS: An essay by critic Kent Jones and a 2011 piece on the film by critic Roger Ebertbr
