The way of the wind may be Malicks last film

>We didn't make such a picturesque, colorful Jesus film, which is what so many of them are, but instead this is directed by a real maestro. And presumably this is his Swan Song, this is his last film, he wanted to direct this film with Disney in the 90s, but Disney wouldn't give him the final cut rights. So then he did this, this script. And now, compared to the fact that the film was shot for three months and in seven countries, with a very small crew and very little money, he tried to tell this story at the twilight of his life. And so it's not like the church's, and it's not like anyone else's Jesus. It might come out in May, maybe in the fall, maybe, let's hope; I think that’s what I'm authorized to say. But you have to expect a long film, and if it's my career as a film actor, I think it's pretty much over with this role.

A Hidden Life was piss-thin in substance. Just Andrei Rublev-litest on the camera work. Only Rogowski's "prison reverie" was very artfully done yet heartfelt. Malick is a workshop guy, not "real maestro".

The fact is American cinema is so thin on real artistic filmmakers Americans have no choice but to cling to mediocrities like Malick and overpraise them to heavens.

Days of Heaven is one of my favorite movies so I hope this is good, Pasolinis gospel according to Matthew might be hard to top though.
