New on DVD & Blu-Ray : THE TREE OF LIFE (2011)

Synopsis: From Terrence Malick, the acclaimed director of such classic films as Badlands, Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line, The Tree of Life is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950's. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick's signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life.

What to Expect : A brilliant piece of experimental cinema that will take you on an existential head trip. There are no words really to describe this movie, but when I say "experimental", I mean it. This is no traditional film. It's an experience that you can't just watch, you have to feel it from beginning to end. All the members of the cast deliver engrossing performances, with Jessica Chastain standing out in her breakthrough performance. Winner of the 2011 Palme D'Or.
