Another great newsletter. I really appreciate this one and the related video, Malick has been on my watchlist for quite some time, soley because of your mentions of him. Thanks so much for the 'recourses' and 'where to start' sections, they will help out A TON as I dive into his work!
I have also been avoiding the newest video on Malick, as I don't want to much "spoiled," for lack of a better term. Do you go a lot into things like themes and interpretation? Or will I be fine watching that video, and then diving into his films (I have not seen any), and still have lots of contemplation to do myself?
No, the latest video mostly focuses on his visual style and how he works behind the scenes. There are lots of clips and vague allusions to themes but no major spoilers unless you just want to go into the films completely blind.
Great newsletter. Malick is without a doudt one of the most profound filmmakers working today. Like I just cannot find anyone else who makes films like him, its great stuff in a world where films that challenges the viewer to participate are being overshadowed by hand-holder films. I personally resonate with much of Malick films, particularly Tree of Life. I loved A Hidden Life(my first foray into Malick) and was wondering what makes it your favorite film from him?(If you feel like answering).

Thanks again, your channel is amazing.

I would consider it spoiler-free.
