Documentary. France, Germany, USA 2016, 90 min. Directed by Terrence Malick. In English with Russian subtitles. Terrence Malick’s monumental documentary project, dedicated to the history of the Universe – from the birth of the stars until the appearance of life and beginning of humanity. The project was conceived of by the director in the 1970s, but fully realized only last year: it premiered at the Venice Film Festival. A variety of colors, the rotation of the planets, the eruption of volcanoes and the appearance of life from nothing: as Malick himself assures, this is one of his greatest dreams. The film is narrated by Cate Blanchett.
