Une vie cachée - Reviews

Malick links the lonely labour of working the land with the thanklessness of sainthood, asking questions about devotion, tradition and individual acts of resistance.

...requires a level of concentration and openness to philosophical conundrums and random moments that most modern films don’t even bother asking for.

Diehl’s performance is a model of restraint; he more often imparts information by a look, a glance, the slump of his shoulders, than he does with a spoken word.

There are so many gorgeous shots...

Malick’s second film about the second world war is a highminded hymn...

...the most engaged and urgent he [Malick] has been for ages.

...a return to form for one of US cinema’s most enigmatic auteurs.

...gripande om vapenvägrares öde i Nazityskland.

Malicks comeback er betagende og medrivende og må anbefales hermed på det varmeste.

...carries all the spectacular imagery — and occasional tedium — of Terrence Malick...

...captures some truly striking small moments...

While Malick’s head is in the sky, his feet are on the ground in the form of Franz and Fani’s relationship, which is so beautiful, so pure, so equal...

Terrence Malick’s portrait of a conscientious objector is his best picture in years

...without question, the best thing that Malick has made since “The Tree of Life.”

...er et poetisk dokument om tro, håb og kærlighed – og et historisk opråb, man bør lytte til.

Vackert och rörande...
