"Where do you begin to describe the wonders of Terrence Malick’s audacious and mind-boggling The Tree of Life, winner of the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival? Referencing his own 50s boyhood, he draws a picture of family life as archetypal as a child’s questions about God, and connects it all to rapturous visions of the origins of the universe and the end of time. We proudly present theNew Zealand premiere screenings on the giant Civic screen so vast a picture cries out to fill. — BG" Watch the trailer for 'The Tree Of Life' below...
