THE TREE OF LIFE | Official Australian Trailer

Out Now on Digital, DVD & Blu-Ray.

TERRENCE MALICK has always created thought-provoking, intensely visual and viscerally emotional films of our times, each one a distinct experience rife with mystery and depth. His new film, THE TREE OF LIFE, may be simultaneously his most intimate and epic work yet. A hymn to life, it excavates answers to the most haunting and personal human questions through a kaleidoscope of the intimate and the cosmic, from the raw emotions of a family in a small Texas town to the wildest, infinite edges of space and time, from a boy's loss of innocence to a man's transforming encounters with awe, wonder and transcendence.

An 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 (Academy Award® nominee* BRAD PITT). Jack (played as an adult by Academy Award® winner* 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.

First time I see it as a father.
I cry even more.
This is beyond cinema. This is pure art.

[satexman]

Some say it is the greatest film ever made...others hated it with a passion.

[allenbentley]

It's an absolutely beautifully artistic movie. People who truly value films that make you think, films that aren't just car chases and gun battles, but films that bring you to another place and make you wonder, this is a film for them.

[lowbudgetboy]

I think I finally understand the movie. "the two way's of life: grace and nature" Jessica Chastain personifies Grace (happiness, Beauty, caring), Brad Pitt personifies nature (tough, Brutal, angry). these two thing's are supposedly different from eachother. Sean Penn's character is the son of these two forces, and is conflicted and struggling with who is (nature or grace). these two forces are not bad, though, just different. I can't believe I just noticed that.

for the people who got bored and think it's pretentious, I've to remind you that there two kinds of films-the ones to entertain you and the interpretive ones with more artistic plight. the first one gives you what you want--full of action, emotive dialogue, full of twist and turns when it comes to the plot etc. the 2nd one challenges you, dares you to solve its puzzle, the puzzle being a new way for the artist to convey a message, such puzzles are like that of Ulysses, Gravity's rainbow, the wasteland, howl, 8 and a half etc. now, i watched the whole film and i understood it and, i wasn't just entertained, i was taken beyond there! It's one of the most spiritual experiences i had, like an entire life review where all scenes of your life flashes before your eyes.

"Ma Vlast (The Moldau River)" is THE most quintessential piece of music that could have accompanied this masterpiece.

[Stefan_]

One of the best trailers to one of the most beautiful movies ever created.

[mckenzieranae]

seeing this trailer from a director who based this work to where he grew up and where I grew up is beautiful. reminds me of my family and how the older members spent their life here and loved every second with their family and didn't want anything else. Makes me anxious and nostalgic for my end.

[TommiJohansen]

Seeing all the comments, definitely not a movie for the iPad generation. But for the rest... a beautiful piece of cinema, that'll last the test of time. Still gets me every time.

[Revengeofthestorm]

Among one of the most breath taking achievemets of recent cinematic history

[josesunshine]

it took me 3 days to finish this film. the cinematographer was great, the actors are fantastic, the dialogue was nonexistence, the story was incoherent & i will easily recommend this film to anyone suffering from insomnia...

[grishashipulina]

I understand people who say that this is not their kind of movie. But I don't understand people who say it's bullshit. I think everyone can find something in this movie that he can relate to in some way. 

[sahd]

No matter how often I watch this. TEARS. Five seconds in, and for the whole movie.

[mikemar]

There is no other film like this film Terrence Malick is a genius

[sixtyford]

I believe this is one of the greatest movies of all time. ❤️‍🔥

[richielei]

How cinematic do you want the videography to be?

[TheSuspect]

[GQ-tfpd]

I haven't watched this movie yet, but the trailer alone makes me cry already.

[cosmorebreak]

This film message is like ocean of wisdom and at the end we realise that how small we are in front the mother nature
