“Land, sky, cities, burned-out homes, pristine beaches, palm trees, Hollywood parties, art galleries, strippers, homeless people, men with deformities and infirmities, passing helicopters and jet planes, day laborers with leaf blowers, mothers and fathers and children, wild animals and pets.” - David Soller Zeitz, RogerEbert.com
“What if the ENTOURAGE movie had been directed by Terrence Malick?” - David Ehrlich, Slate
The filmmaker behind BADLANDS, DAYS OF HEAVEN and THE TREE OF LIFE turns his sights on the vacuousness and ridiculousness that is the Hollywood system in KNIGHT OF CUPS, while also tossing in the Tarot, the 17th-century allegory “The Pilgrim’s Progress” and some New Testament apocrypha for good measure. Joining Terry Malick for this experimental ride are a murderer’s row of movie stars: Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, Cate Blanchett, Nick Offerman(!), Brian Dennehy (!!) Imogen Poots and Antonio Banderas.
