There are few movies that have had such an impact on those who’ve seen it this year than Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to rave reviews, before winning the Palme d’Or. It’s been playing in theaters for a few weeks in select cities and it’s going to be expanding wider over the next few weekends, which may be why Fox Searchlight Pictures turned to visionary filmmakers Christopher Nolan and David Fincher to do testimonials on how Malick has been such a huge influence on their work and why moviegoers will want to check out The Tree of Life even if they don’t think it’s for them.
