Exactly my feelings, once that first melancholic and nostalgic full of feelings like of an afternoon in 1985 feeling the breeze scene appeared I knew it was my boy Malick.
God I love his movies so much.

Malick's films are wholly experiential and have little to do with "feeling smart". I reviewed TREE OF LIFE a few years ago and said that his films are ones you have to feel, not think, your way through.
They really are a "love it or hate it" sort of deal.
Or - stay with me for a moment - Or there are some people who like things that you don't like!

Must be such a revelation for you.
Hah. I'd agree if his only films were Tree of Life and To the Wonder.
Bucking typical narrative structure doesn't mean being unaware of it or bad at it. Given his literal 40-year career, and the fact that he spent about half of it writing scripts (including a draft of Dirty Harry! lol), odds are there's nothing he has to "learn."
That would be an awesome batman movie. Haha
I wonder if someone would actually bother merging the two together later on.

Movie looks really interesting and I'm loving that poster. Really surprised that there isn't am actor or a giant face on it. Then again, it's not an American poster(I think).
I disagree.
John Smith is (in the film anyway) a coward, weak douchebag, and Farrell has the perfect face for that role.
Rolfe is a more mature and thoughtful person, and Bale does have that gravitas and can convey that tranquillity.
preach!
this poster is really cool

I absolutely hate Bale, but the trailer looks cool.

That's a very strong emotion for someone that has very little if anything to do with you.

I'm very interested in the premise of this movie, or at least what I assume to be the premise from watching the trailer: it seems to be about the difference between savoring life and enjoying the "imagery of life," for lack of a better description. It's so, so relevant to today's western society. I hope it's a well made movie and has a big impact on people.
good, I just need to be assured that the movie has a cohesive story
Twitter reactions:
"Malik continues to circle around Tree of Life's huge themes (death, longing, faith) with Knight of Cups. Glad to say it works." #berlinale
"Well, at least I know what film we'll be arguing about for the rest of 2015." #teamkoc

"Terrence Malick ranked:
7. TO THE WONDER

"KNIGHT OF CUPS: Flirtations w/ narrative, fragments of a life, and a portrait of Los Angeles that outdoes all others. A masterwork."
Stephen Mayne @finalreel:
"Bad Malick. Slightly better version of To the Wonder. Beautiful to look at, music superb, content bland."
Neil Young @JigsawLounge:
"Still a bit shaken after KNIGHT OF CUPS - Malick's best since THIN RED LINE, surely. TO THE WONDER essentially an elaborate sketch for this."
Karsten Meinich @KarstenM:
"Terrence Malick goes completely into a Godardian essayism with KNIGHT OF CUPS - an emotional and terrifying world of phantoms and images."
Hanna Newton @popcorn pyjamas
"KNIGHT OF CUPS was a beautiful let down. Definitely style over substance here."
Eric Eidelstein @ericeidelstein
"Am I crazy or was there a Twin Peaks Major Briggs voiceover in KNIGHT OF CUPS?"
Adam Cook @AdamCook:
"KNIGHT OF CUPS is Malick at his most explorative—TTW was an awkward step toward what he's arrived at here...Great? Maybe. Astonishing? Yes."
Redmond Bacon @RedmondBacon:
"Knight of cups was like really good but also really on-the-nose. Didn't know whether to clap, boo or burst out laughing. #Berlinale"

Knight of Cups - Malick is BACK & better than ever! Stunning. Mesmerizing trip thru life of an actor, pretending to be anyone but himself.

As long as this is better than To The Wonder. That wasn't a bad Malick film, it was just a bad film period.

tree of life hadn't for example, the story had no line of connection between scenes

Those twitter impressions sound like parodies of themselves. I chuckled at the phrase "Godardian essayism".

Yeah I guess I was a little harsh. I don't like him. I don't like his acting, his roles, etc. Yeah I know I'm probably the only one. Fuck it.

A cast of amazing talent and Malick will STILL find a way to make it boring as dirt.
Go watch it again. It did.

Shit, I rewatched it almost immediately after it ended. One of the best films of 2011.

shock, new Terrence Malick film draws divisive reactions!
honestly reading the reviews it get a feeling of "Familar territory, empty women characters, very pretty...its perfectly fine". Which is an odd feeling to express about a Malick film. Usually its all hosannas or hatred.
Shoutouts to the Film Stage, cuz I know Expendable will do it eventually

Young boy grows up in the 1950s, has difficult relationship with father.
Just a series of vignettes around that, not much more to it really.

I just noticed the paint black-and-white naked performance thing in the trailer is taken from Quentin Jones "Paint Test No. 1" film!

I wonder when we'll see Lawless. Very anxious to see it since he filmed a lot of it here in Austin.. I think some of Knight of Cups was also filmed here but it's a little hard to say since both were in production for years. A US distribution company (Broad Green, never heard of them) bought the rights to both last week.
Edit: A bit more about Broad Green Pictures.. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/whats-broad-green-meet-indie-735275

Knight of Cups not hitting theaters until 2016
Also confirms that the Austin music scene film isn't called Weightless (naturally, its actual title still isn't given)
