To the Wonder

"To the Wonder" is the beautiful and acclaimed latest offering from Terrence Malick, the legendary director of The Tree of Life (2011). The film is centred on Neil (Ben Affleck, Argo [2012]), a man who is torn between two loves: Marina (Olga Kurylenko, Quantum of Solace), the European woman who comes to the United States to be with him, and Jane (Rachel McAdams, Midnight in Paris [2011]), the old flame he reconnects with from his hometown. Neil’s doubts about his life and loves are reflected in the crisis of faith experienced by Father Quintana (Javier Bardem, Skyfall), who only sees pain and the loss of hope in the world. In "To the Wonder"  Malick explores how love and its many phases and seasons – passion, sympathy, obligation, sorrow, indecision – can transform, destroy, and reinvent lives.
