Voyage of Time: Au fil de la vie

10 Great Movies Set In Prehistoric Times
Image
Prehistoric movies often portray prehistoric life with a comedic slant and focus on sensational aspects like encounters with dinosaurs. These movies offer valuable commentary on present-day issues and pop culture, exploring human evolution and the significant strides humanity has made over time. Despite vast changes in environment and technology, many human concerns and behaviors remain constant through the ages, as these films demonstrate.

There are many great movies set in prehistoric times, all exploring fascinating elements from the early days of human evolution to the first early men. However, movies may not be the best source for accurate portrayals of prehistoric times. On-screen, prehistoric life is often depicted with a comedic slant. Some even choose to focus on sensational aspects like encounters with dinosaurs, as seen in One Million Years B.C., despite these creatures having been extinct long before the first humans.

These prehistoric settings often offer valuable commentary on present-day issues and pop culture.

Rushes: Remembering Lina Wertmüller, "Everything Everywhere All At Once," Filmmakers' Favorite Theaters
Image
Get in touch to send in cinephile news and discoveries. For daily updates follow us @NotebookMUBI.NEWSAbove: Lina Wertmüller in Behind the White Glasses (2015).Italian filmmaker Lina Wertmüller, the first woman to be nominated for a directing Oscar (for 1975's Seven Beauties), died on December 9. After working as an assistant director for Federico Fellini on 8 1/2, Wertmüller went on to become a prolific and distinctive filmmaker in her own right, combining politics and sex and humor in films like The Seduction of Mimi and Swept Away. In an interview with Criterion, she stated: "I consider myself a director, not a female director. I think there’s no difference. The difference is between good movies and bad movies. We should not make other distinctions." The prolific critic and theorist bell hooks has died today. In addition to her many writings on the feminist movement and cultural politics, hooks was also an important media theorist.

‘Voyage Of Time’ Trailer: After 5 Years, Terrence Malick’s IMAX Doc Hits Streaming Courtesy Of Mubi
Image
More than five years ago, Terrence Malick’s acclaimed documentary, “Voyage of Time,” was released in IMAX. Since then, outside of a re-release a year or so later, it’s been hard to find a way to enjoy Malick’s feature at your leisure. Well, that is until Mubi stepped up to land the exclusive streaming rights to the film and is set to release it later this month.

Terrence Malick in La Ligne rouge (1998)
Terrence Malick’s Voyage of Time Finally Gets U.S. 4K Digital Release, Courtesy of Mubi
Terrence Malick in La Ligne rouge (1998)
At long last, Terrence Malick’s awe-inspiring documentary Voyage of Time will be able to be seen by more eyes. Premiering back in the fall of 2016 in two forms––a 45-minute, Brad Pitt-narrated version for IMAX and a feature-length version narrated by Cate Blanchett––the latter still hasn’t seen a proper U.S. release (I thankfully was able to catch it with a live orchestra a few years back at Bam), but the former got a small IMAX run. Now the Pitt-narrated version will be getting a digital premiere courtesy of Mubi in glorious 4K. Ahead of a release next week, on December 17, a new trailer has now arrived for the film landing globally.

Rory O’Connor said in his 2016 review of the longer Blanchett version, “You could argue that Terrence Malick has been trying to find or express catharsis in his films as far back as 1978’s Days of Heaven.

Studiocanal’s ‘The Wolf and the Lion’ Gets U.S. Distribution Deal with Blue Fox (Exclusive)
Image
Blue Fox Entertainment has acquired U.S. rights to Studiocanal’s adventure family film “The Wolf and the Lion” from French director Gilles de Maistre (“Mia and the White Lion”).

Released from 2018 in over 50 countries around the world, “Mia and the White Lion” earned north of $40 million at the worldwide box office, an outstanding figure for an independent film.

“The Wolf and the Lion,” starring Molly Kunz (“Colony”), Graham Greene and Charlie Carrick (“Reign”), will be released by Blue Fox in U.S. theaters in early 2022 on over 300 screens. The movie, which recently won best children’s film at the Zurich Intl. Film Festival, was co-penned by Prune de Maistre, whose screenwriting credits include “Mia and the Lion.”

The film kicks off when 20-year-old Alma (Kunz) rescues two helpless cubs, a wolf and a lion, which forge an inseparable bond. Taken away by the forest ranger, the cub brothers embark...

Awaken Director Tom Lowe on Terrence Malick’s Wisdom, the Creativity of Asian Cinema, and Capturing the World’s Beauty
Image
After visiting over 30 countries over the span of half-a-decade, Tom Lowe’s non-narrative documentary Awaken is an awe-inspiring look at the bonds of nature and humanity. Executive produced by Terrence Malick and Godfrey Reggio–both of whom Lowe has collaborated with on various projects––the film is seemingly inspired by the spirit of Voyage of Time and Qatsi trilogy in its vision of the world.

I said in my review, “Shot in 4K over five years across 30 countries, Lowe orchestrates a non-narrative approach, letting the footage mostly speak for itself, accompanied by Joseph Trapanese’s bombastic orchestral score and sparsely doled-out, poetic voice-over from Liv Tyler. A visit to Dubai, where the film received its private funding for production, holds the most stunning imagery, as the camera floats ethereally above the sky as if created for a large-scale science-fiction film. The director’s previous experience with time-lapse footage of the vast wonders of the sky,...

Terrence Malick-Produced Documentary Explains Why Even His Worst Movies Are Worthy of Appreciation
Image
Nearly 40 years ago, Godfrey Reggio’s “Koyaanisqatsi” set a pulsating montage of modern and natural splendor to an ecstatic Phillip Glass score and was off to the races, with a singular formula of manufactured awe that has lasted generations. Likewise, when Terrence Malick returned from decades of dormancy to heighten conventional narratives with whispery voiceovers and cosmic detours, the ambition was undeniable. Yet “Awaken,” which was executive produced by both men and directed by their protege Tom Lowe,

“Awaken” was reportedly shot over the course of five years and across 30 countries, yet all that time and globe-trotting effort yielded little more than a dense clip reel of sumptuous time-lapse photography strewn about 70-odd minutes in search of a single unifying idea to justify the journey. Lowe is an undeniably talented astrophotographer who was been churning out time-lapse marvels for over a decade. His 2009 “TimeScapes,” which centers on the American southwest,...

Awaken Review: An Awe-Inspiring Sensory Experience That Treads Familiar Waters
Capturing the awe-inspiring wonders of our world has been an endeavor since the dawn of image-making, and with ever-evolving advancements in technology there’s an unparalleled pristineness in one’s ability to record such beauty. In his feature debut Awaken, director Tom Lowe takes this pursuit to heart, traversing the planet with the eye of a treasure hunter, collecting only the most stunning shots imaginable to convey the splendor of where we all collectively call home. The film’s main calling card––being executive produced by Terrence Malick and Godfrey Reggio––inevitably also sets a perhaps unfairly high bar as the film falls short of achieving the masterful rhythm and level of insightful connection between humanity, nature, and technology found in its clear inspirations. However, as a sensory experience, there’s still plenty of wonder worth beholding across its rather brief 75-minute runtime.

Shot in 4K over five years across 30 countries,...

Pennebaker, Jonas Mekas, and Andy Warhol, Christopher Schobert said in his Fantasia review, “King for a Day would have perhaps benefitted from more time with Tiny’s daughter (with his first wife); while...

‘The Irishman’ Producer Gaston Pavlovich Joins ‘Earth’s’ Sophokles Tasioulis on ‘The Hague’ (Exclusive)
Image
Gaston Pavlovich, famed for producing Martin Scorsese’s “Silence” and “The Irishman,” is joining Sophokles Tasioulis, producer of Terrence Malick’s “Voyage of Time,” to produce “The Hague.”

The feature is set up at Tasioulis’ Sophisticated Films banner in Germany and Pavlovich’s Mexico-based international production banner Fábrica de Cine.

“The Hague” is based on a story and treatment by Ilan Ziv, an Israeli who fought as a young man in the Yom Kippur War in 1973, before becoming a documentary director whose “Capitalism,” a six-part series, was broadcast on Franco-German broadcaster Arte.

In active development, the producers are currently discussing the script adaptation with several top writers. With a screenplay underway, the film is scheduled to go into production in 2022, shooting in multiple European and original locations.

After the BBC’s “Deep Blue,” “Earth” and Terence Malick’s “Voyage of Time,” Berlin-based Sophisticated Films is partnering Finland’s Mrp Matila Röhr Productions on their mythological natural history feature “Tale of the Sleeping Giants.” Sophisticated Films’ managing director Sophokles Tasioulis will serve as associate producer, in charge of marketing and sales outside Finland.

Mark Rylance Jokes He Did “90 Minute Takes” On Terrence Malick’s ‘Last Planet’ Which Now Has A Composer
Image
What’s going on with Terrence Malick’s “The Last Planet” movie about Jesus? Well, not much publicly anyhow. As usual, most of it is under the radar, but a new sign suggests it’s entering the post-production stages and perhaps inching towards completion.

Film Soundtrack Reporter says Greek composer Eleni Karaindrou has written the original score for the upcoming drama. She is known for writing the score to Theodoros Angelopoulos’ 1995 Grand Jury Prize Cannes winner “Ulysses’ Gaze” and some of her existing music was used in both “Mad Max: Fury Road,” and Malick’s own “Voyage of Time: Life’s Journey” (the longer version with Cate Blanchett narration that never came out theatrically beyond film festivals).

Terrence Malick in La Ligne rouge (1998)
Terrence Malick’s The Last Planet Adds Composer Eleni Karaindrou
Terrence Malick in La Ligne rouge (1998)
The plurality and panoply of 2020’s disasters has made it easy to forget there’s a new Terrence Malick movie in post-production. (Something to say about this horrifying year and its focus on Christ and Satan? I don’t know.) And it’s been a bit since word filtered on The Last Planet—not since Malick made a rare public appearance, fittingly at the Vatican, to share details. A source relayed that work’s been slow amidst Covid—that’s not a surprise; much as anything we want you to know we have sources—but signs of life persist: our friends at One Big Soul tell us musician Eleni Karaindrou has completed work on the film. [Athina 984]

Whether that’s a full score or individual pieces remains to be seen, and of course Malick is not wont to rely on one composer. Karaindrou is no stranger in any case: her track...

The Atlantic City Story Review: A Quietly Profound Character Study From Terrence Malick Collaborator Henry Butash
The Atlantic City Story (2020)
Despite a relatively unassuming title, Henry Butash’s ruminative feature debut, The Atlantic City Story, is a quietly profound, muted character study, following two wayward souls at a crossroads in their lives, looking to the faux-glamour of Atlantic City as a possible escape. While hitting familiar narrative beats, the film features a career-best performance by notable character actor Jessica Hecht and relative newcomer Mike Faist (perhaps most famous for his work in Dear Evan Hansen), marking an auspicious debut for the first-time director.

Trapped in a seemingly routine marriage, Jane (Hecht) decides to flee her suburban Jersey life on her birthday, buying a bus ticket and, ultimately, a hotel room in the casino. Perhaps unsure herself why she is taking the trip, she wanders through the casino floor before finding a roulette table where Arthur (Faist) is sitting. Arthur, with his layered coats and baseball hat tucked low to his eyes,...

Abundant Acreage Available (Angus MacLachlan)

Faith-based cinema is as diverse a genre as there is, from the extreme, often violent portraits of devotion from established directors like Martin Scorsese and Mel Gibson, to the attacks on logic in the God’s Not Dead and Left Behind pictures. Angus MacLachlan, a great storyteller of the not-too-deep south, offers a nuanced example of what this genre can bring, returning with the moving Abundant Acreage Available.

15 Under-the-Radar Highlights at the 55th New York Film Festival
Considering the esteemed level of curation at the New York Film Festival, which begins this Thursday at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, a comprehensive preview could mostly consist of the schedule.

There’s the gala slots (Last Flag Flying, Wonderstruck, and Wonder Wheel), Main Slate selections (featuring Call Me By Your Name, Lady Bird, The Square, Mudbound), two films from Film Twitter phenom Hong Sang-soo, and much more, as well as a 24-film Robert Mitchum retrospective and a delectable line-up of restorations.

So rather than single all of these out for our yearly preview, we’re looking at a handful of under-the-radar highlights from across the festival. Check them out below and return for our coverage.

Ahead of the world premiere next week, the first trailer has now arrived, which shows off stunning skyscapes and introduces the astronomers, fishermen, miners, and cowboys that take us on this journey. “Cielo itself is an act of reverence and awe, and its sense of wonder ranges from the intimate and human to the vast and inhuman,” says the official Nyff synopsis.

Broad Green: How Wall Street Wealth, A-List Talent, and Brash Decisions Made an Indie Player Implode
It takes guts to join the indie distribution fray, especially when the market is challenged by big buyers like Netflix and Amazon Studios (which, along with Annapurna, is optimistically taking over its own theatrical distribution) and television is chasing down the hottest indie talent. Even one-time high-flyer The Weinstein Co., which once knew better than anyone how to play the indie game, is evolving to survive during these changing times.

When Wall Street billionaires Gabriel Hammond, 38, and his brother, Daniel, 34, launched independent producer-distributor Broad Green Pictures three summers ago, Hollywood was skeptical. It was a strange time to reinvent a dying economic model.

Now, after trying to use arcane algorithms to determine what movies to make, Gabriel has decided to pull the plug on production. The breaking point was the July 14 release of John Leonetti’s “Wish Upon,” which grossed $13.2 million on a $12 million budget. (Theaters return about half of the take to the distributor,...

First Awaken Trailer Feels Like a Cool Breeze on a Hot Day
As I watched the gorgeous first trailer for Tom Lowe's Awaken, I was reminded of the films of Godfrey Reggio (Koyaanisquati) and Terrence Malick (especially Tree of Life) and hey, what do you know, both those gentlemen serve as executive producers of this documentary. But that's not just some random director-association game. Lowe made Timescapes, a short film that garnered wide attention, and subsequently served as second-unit director for both Malick (Voyage of Time) and Reggio (Visitors). Awaken explores "humanity's relationship with technology and the natural world," according to the official synopsis. Lowe had an impressive resume in the military, political, and speechwriting worlds before becoming a filmmaker, and he's spent five years making the movie "in more than 30 countries," again per the synopsis....

Terrence Malick is between projects at the moment, having released “Song to Song” earlier this year, but a new documentary he executive produced entitled “Awaken” just released its first trailer, and it looks as gorgeous and breathtaking as both “Voyage of Time” and “Tree of Life.”

Directed by award-winning cinematographer-turned-director Tom Lowe, whose debut film “TimeScapes” was a non-narrative doc comprised of gorgeous slow-motion and timelapse cinematography of landscapes, people, and wildlife, “Awaken” is epic in scale and brings “unseen sights and breathtaking perspectives to the human eye for the first time.” Here’s the official synopsis:

Terrence Malick and Godfrey Reggio Present First Trailer for Globe-Spanning Documentary ‘Awaken’
While we await the official release of Terrence Malick’s feature-length version of Voyage of Time, someone who served on his crew for that epic documentary has now directed one of his own, which also looks to capture the arresting beauty of the world. The next feature from Tom Lowe, a second-unit director for Malick, as well as Godfrey Reggio — both of whom executive produced — is titled Awaken, and the first trailer has arrived.

Featuring music from M83, this three-minute trailer is visually staggering, showing off the project that has been shooting for over five years across over 30 countries. “One of the early driving forces of Awaken was to film the natural world in a way that could compete on a spectacle level with large visual-effects-heavy blockbusters, but to capture everything ‘in camera’ with no effects, compositing, or post-production tricks of any kind,” says Lowe.

Before David Lynch was a filmmaker, he was a struggling painter, whose lifeblood was to “drink coffee, smoke cigarettes, and paint.” That’s what he dubbed “the art life,” and what an image – as featured in the many contemporary photos seen in this new documentary – it is, the bequiffed 20-something Lynch sitting back in his Philadelphia studio,...

Krisha (2015)
How a Chance Encounter With Terrence Malick Turned Trey Edward Shults Into a Filmmaker
Krisha (2015)
When Trey Edward Shults was 18 years old, he went to Hawaii for the summer to stay with his aunt Krisha – yes, the same Krisha who starred in his 2016 breakout “Krisha.” His aunt was connected to small filmmaking community on the island and got her nephew jobs working on commercials and other productions.

“I lucked out and got on this Terrence Malick movie,” said Shults when he was guest on IndeWire’s Filmmaker Toolkit podcast. The small crew, sans Malick, was shooting footage of a volcano for the documentary “Voyage of Time.”

“It was five guys with an IMAX camera,” said Shults. “I loved movies, but I didn’t know how they were made, really. I didn’t even get what the guy [the film loader] in the changing bag with the film was...

Terrence Malick Discusses Returning to Scripts for Future Films
After decades of only hearing offhand remarks from those that worked with him, it was last fall when Terrence Malick made his first public appearance. Since then, the once-reclusive director came to South by Southwest Film Festival for a live talk following the premiere of Song to Song, and soon after stopped by Washington D.C.’s Air and Space Museum to participate in a post-screening Q&A for Voyage of Time. Courtesy of Alex Withrow’s recount of the night at And So It Begins, while there, the director mostly discussed his ambitious documentary, but he also expanded on his desire to gravitate back toward working with clear scripts and pre-planned productions.

Specifically, the director talked about this return for his upcoming WWII drama Radegund, which will be at the Cannes marketplace for potential buyers this May. “Well, in this case, there was a script, which was the evolutionally history of the universe,...

Halloween Night (2006)
‘Boys In The Trees’ Exclusive Clip: Two Former Friends Reconnect And Descend Into Nightmares On Halloween Night
Halloween Night (2006)
Adolescence is a time when friendships are especially malleable. People grow apart quickly, they develop and mature at different rates, and sometimes your best friend can become your worst enemy in just a few short years. Australian director Nicholas Verso’s debut film innately understands this idea. “Boys in the Trees” follows two former friends who meet up and trek together one Halloween night. They soon descend into old nightmares and relive past traumas.

While Stanley Kubrick was reportedly loath to be interviewed, numerous stories tell of the director randomly calling up fellow filmmakers, often after he’d seen their films, and peppering them with questions and engaging in long discussions about their work. Terrence Malick is similarly press shy. While his new documentary “The Voyage Of Time” is gearing up to […]

Terence Malick new film designed to make us all feel insignificant
Clip It: Each day, Jon Davis looks at the world of trailers, featurettes, and clips and puts it all in perspective. Space! Dinosaurs! Black holes! How did director Terrence Malick even get the footage for Voyage of Time? He's really challenged himself this time. He's not just settling for natural light and only shooting during magic hour (the short period of time after sunset and before sunset when sunlight is softer). He's gone deep into the cosmos.  If you ever saw Malick's Tree of Life, one of the best movies of the 21st century, first of all, congratulations. It was a long movie. I saw it twice, so you know I'm crazy. After the first time, I was amazed at how well Malick weaved the history of the world with the history of humanity and each individual and how it's all connected. I enthusiastically showed Tree of Life to my...
