Next up; (Patreon)

For my next project I'm returning to one of my favorite filmmakers; Terrence Malick! Today I rewatched The New World and even though I've seen it about 5 times by now, it still leaves me with a strange sense of blissful melancholy that I want to explore further. I'll be focusing on the issue of grief, about which Francis Weller wrote an interesting book that discusses grief not just as the sorrow resulting from the loss of a loved one, but also as a larger cultural concept. His poetic words reminded me a lot of the feeling I'm left with after watching a Terrence Malick film so it's going to be interesting to see what results will come after linking the two together.
