Shitty 8 1/2I actually like Knight of Cups, but it's not unbelievably amazing and it's quite flawed

>Perhaps no film in the history of cinema follows the movement of memory as faithfully, as passionately, or as profoundly as Terrence Malick’s new film, “Knight of Cups.” It’s an instant classic in several genres—the confessional, the inside-Hollywood story, the Dantesque midlife-crisis drama, the religious quest, the romantic struggle, the sexual reverie, the family melodrama—because the protagonist’s life, like most people’s lives, involves intertwined strains of activity that don’t just overlap but are inseparable from each other. The movie runs less than two hours and its focus is intimate, but its span seems enormous—not least because Malick has made a character who’s something of an alter ego, and he endows that character with an artistic identity and imagination as vast and as vital as his own.
>As such, “Knight of Cups” is one of the great recent bursts of cinematic artistry, a carnival of images and sounds that have a sensual beauty, of light and movement, of gesture and inflection, rarely matched in any movie that isn’t Malick’s own. Here, he—and his cinematographer, Emmanuel Lubezki—surpass themselves. Where “The Tree of Life” is filled with memories, is even about memory, “Knight of Cups” is close to a first-person act of remembering, and the ecstatic power of its images and sounds is a virtual manifesto, and confession, of the cinematic mind at work.

you won't, it's not hard to understand but it's art, and unless you have the right set of mind, you won't. Basically you have to be a successful male to understand it, Batman is going through an existential crisis in the sense of Camus -which is shitty introductory philosophy- in which he has everything but feels empty and tries to connect with the word but fails.
t. successful male.

Was the Hollywood party scene an actual Hollywood party Malick just stuck some cameras in? I swear a bunch of people looked straight at the camera
