Interesting that of all his work this is the one that's enjoying the greatest re-discovery. I really loved all four of these films. Definitely one of my favorite quartets yet!Jeffrey Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464544798603030406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361395648458719073.post-50320711346521337692011-08-12T18:15:15.038-05:002011-08-12T18:15:15.038-05:00Your thirteenth installment of this terrific serie...Your thirteenth installment of this terrific series examining quartets of films well worth celebrating has yielded more gems yet. Malick's visionary abstract masterwork broaches themes that reach the essence of our existence and the defining cycle of life. It's one of the year's greatest film, and perhaps the best yet from this master of cinema. Love the use of the word "mournful" in describing the ever-important western PAT GARRET AND BILLY THE KID, and much appreciate teh passion affored Ermanno Olmi's most famous film. The reputation of Antonioni's THE PASSENGER has risen (rightly so) in recent years, moreso than any other work in his treasured catalogue.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
