The Films of Terrence Malick

Terrence Malick (*1943) is a singular figure within the American film industry, an auteur par excellence who writes his own scripts, is uncompromising in his refusal to take on contract work and only makes films when he is assured complete artistic control over a project. He has made a total of six films since his debut BADLANDS (1973). The publication of a new book on Malick (Dominik Kamalzadeh, Michael Pekler: Terrence Malick, Schüren Verlag) and the release of his current film "To the Wonder" at the end of May provide suitable impetus for us to show his previous five directorial works together with a portrait of Malick, often in brand-new prints.
