{"product_id":"theology-and-the-films-of-terrence-malick","title":"Theology and the Films of Terrence Malick","description":"\u003cp\u003eTerrence Malick is one of the most important and controversial filmmakers of the last few decades. Yet his renown does not stem from box office receipts, but rather from his inimitable cinematic vision that mixes luminous shots of nature, dreamlike voiceovers, and plots centered on enduring existential questions. Although scholars have thoroughly examined Malick’s background in philosophy, they have been slower to respond to his theological concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is the first to focus on the ways in which Malick integrates theological inquiries and motifs into his films. The book begins with an exploration of Malick’s career as a filmmaker and shows how his Heideggerian interests relate to theology. Further essays from established and up-and-coming scholars analyze seven of Malick’s most prominent films – \u003ci\u003eBadlands\u003c\/i\u003e (1973), \u003ci\u003eDays of Heaven \u003c\/i\u003e(1978), \u003ci\u003eThe Thin Red Line \u003c\/i\u003e(1998), \u003ci\u003eThe New World \u003c\/i\u003e(2005), \u003ci\u003eThe Tree of Life \u003c\/i\u003e(2011), \u003ci\u003eTo the Wonder \u003c\/i\u003e(2012), and \u003cem\u003eKnight of Cups\u003c\/em\u003e (2015) – to show how his cinematic techniques point toward and overlap with principles of Christian theology. A thorough study of an iconic filmmaker, this book is an essential resource for students and scholars in the emerging field of religion and film. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247629291864,"sku":"9781138385825","price":62.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138385825_f759f03c-ca7c-4d1e-b7e0-a12699904fe1.jpg?v=1768585533","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/theology-and-the-films-of-terrence-malick","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
