Knight of Cups

A famous actor seeks answers to the emotional desert of his relationships with women. The most experimental of Malick’s films, reducing narration to the bare minimum and compelling the actors, who hadn’t read the script, to improvise without any kind of safety net. Excerpts from the music of Arvo Pärt bolster the director’s metaphysical and impressionistic flourishes: 4th symphony, Silouans song and Miserere.
