The Tree of Life + Nature vs Grace

Terrence Malick’s magnum opus The Tree of Life is striving to be more than a film; it is a philosophical meditation. One which doesn’t unfold in the traditional sense but drifts like memory, weaving between cosmic grandeur and childhood recollection, between whispered prayers and the silent weight of suffering.

Paterson + Beauty

  • Jacob Ruby
  • October 24, 2024
Jim Jarmusch’s movie Paterson is an understated masterpiece that uncovers remarkable beauty in the simplicity of life. The story revolves around the experiences of Paterson, a bus driver and poet living in Paterson, New Jersey. While the film may appear uneventful on the surface it is this quietness that holds its charm. For those who appreciate reflecting on life through cinema, Paterson provides a thoughtful exploration reminiscent of the philosophies of Henri Lefebvre and Martin Heidegger.
