It's kind of a bummer to see so many dismissing Terrence Malick's upcoming "To the Wonder" with jokes about shots of wheat fields and sighs over the trademark camerawork he employs with Emmanuel Lubezski. But it speaks to the film itself, which is free from cynicism, and a deeply earnest and soulful look at love and loss, which some may have let their guard down to embrace.
Following the English trailer, which dropped a couple of days ago, along comes a new French-language version with some key differences. First off, it employs a new voiceover, with Olga Kurylenko practicing her French to narrate, with some snippets of dialogue included. It also features some different footage and edits as well for those looking to soak up more of Malick's imagery in the movie. As for the movie, you likely already know it's about a dissolving relationship between an American (Ben Affleck) and his European ex-pat wife (Kurylenko), complicated by a childhood love (Rachel McAdams) entering the picture. But it also ponders if we're truly capable of loving wholly and purely in a world that's literally and spiritually polluted.
"To the Wonder" opens in the U.K. on February 22nd and in the U.S. on April 12th. Watch below.
Looks like a cliché
does anyone know what the music in the trailer is called? it's gorgeous.
How do you this dimiss jokes that you used guys over and over and OVER again until they were hammered into the ground, bro?!
Call me crazy but I feel like its possible to make stupid jokes AND enjoy the movie
Much better than the UK one.
TO THE WONDER: Now with more whispering!
I was going to say, we live in a time of cynicism and insincerity, of course the hip 20 or 3o somethings are going to make jokes. But you addressed that right away. Can't wait for the movie!
Looks INCREDIBLE
