The Tree of Life creates “full house” in Yerevan
Terrence Malick's epic The Tree of Life, which received Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival, gathered a large audience in Yerevan's Moscow Cinema.
Many viewers, who were left without seats, sat on the floor.
The Tree of Life is a 2011 American drama written and directed by Terrence Malick and starring Sean Penn, Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain and Hunter McCracken. The Tree of Life is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950′s.
The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack O'Brien (Sean Penn), through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). He 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.
The director tries to prove existence of God whereas his heroes attempt to deny it.
It is interesting how the director tries to prove the existence of God while his heroes question his existence.
Spectators left the cinema hall in utter admiration and bewilderment.
