Lawless

Director: Terrence Malick

To consider one’s self a fan of Terrence Malick’s oeuvres is, for lack of a better term, cinephile martyrdom. As one of the two current projects that should be released this year (how many times have we said this), the formerly titled Lawless sounds like a Grand Slam in terms of musical acts assisting a romantic backdrop of a good looking set of actors and actresses (they’ll certainly look lush with Emmanuel Lubezki assisting in the photography) this mostly scriptless project might turn out to be a first-cousin comparison the largely dismissed To the Wonder.

Gist: Two intersecting love triangles. Obsession and betrayal set against the music scene in Austin, Texas.

Release Date: Cannes. Venice. TIFF. 2014.
