Opis

This volume is the first to focus on the ways in which Terrence Malick integrates theological inquiries and motifs into his films. Essays from established and up-and-coming scholars analyze seven of Malick’s films to show how his cinematic techniques point toward and overlap with principles of Christian theology.
