Named one of the 100 best films of the century by The New York Times. How can a film capture eternity and the communion of our souls with the universe? That’s precisely the aim of filmmaker Terrence Malick (The Thin Red Line), and the result is a true work of art, rightfully awarded the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Starring Jessica Chastain, Sean Penn, and Brad Pitt, the film seeks to evoke the wonder of existing within the vastness of the universe and finding meaning in our personal legacy. It’s more about feeling than telling a single story, and it demands patience for Malick’s signature meditative pace. The reward, however, lies in its absolute visual and sonic beauty — the cinematography by Mexican master Emmanuel “El Chivo” Lubezki will stay etched in your memory.
Voyage of Time is a documentary that showcases the marks of director Terrence Malick (The Tree of Life) in his most ambitious, experimental, and existential form. It is a journey through the history of the universe – and time itself – presenting stunning images of the cosmos and life on Earth to evoke the past, present, and future. This version is narrated by Cate Blanchett (there is another version created for IMAX, narrated by Brad Pitt, but essentially they are the same film). If you enjoy cinema that captivates both your senses and your mind, with some existentialist touches, we recommend watching this documentary on the biggest screen you can find.
