Knight of Cups 2015
Another magisterial work from Malick. This film reminds me of Hermann Hesse a lot, of a man stuck in some kind of spiritual plateau and on the prowl for something new, something fulfilling. The movie ends with Bale swimming through water that’s dirtied from the tide that rolls in and out, just as our lives seemingly drift in and out of satisfaction and emptiness. Malick’s movies could be dissected, but you’d do yourself a disservice trying to interpret it in a lens that drains any magic from the film.
