Garv’s Pick of the Week: The Tree of Life (Criterion)
For the release week of September 11th:
Garv’s Pick of the Week: The Tree of Life [Blu-ray / Criterion]: If you didn’t think Terrence Malick’s meditation on the human experience was long enough, I have good news for you. Criterion’s new Blu-ray contains an extended version with 50 minutes of additional footage (along with the original theatrical version). The wisdom of lengthening an already long film is questionable, but the original version contained some amazingly beautiful, unforgettable images. Who knows what additional eye candy will be revealed?
