Book Presentation:
Terrence Malick's debut film, Badlands, announced the arrival of a unique talent. In the 40 years since that debut, Malick has only made five films, but they are distinctive in their beauty.
This book is not meant to be a biography of Terrence Malick. The purpose behind the book is to introduce readers to the extraordinary universe of his film-making and to aid them in understanding his work. And to do this through the words of his closest collaborators, cinematographers, set designers, costumers, cameramen, directors, producers, and actors such as Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek and Jessica Chastain. As their words flow from one to another, they form a fascinating, kaleidoscopic vision of American film and specifically Malick's artistic world. who make up a film.
This book is the fruit of a journey began years ago when Luciano Baracaroli, Carlo Hintermann, Gerardo Panichi and Daniele Villa made a documentary on the work of Terrence Malick, which led to the making of this book as well.
About the authors:
Carlo Hintermann, Daniele Villa, Luciano Baracaroli, and Gerardo Panichi worked together in the Italian publishing house Ubulibri under the guidance of the late Franco Quadri. After having edited books on Otar Ioseliani, David Lynch and Takeshi Kitano, they chose to make a documentary about Terrence Malick since his films served as a prism through which they could view American cinema. They met Malick in Milan in 2001 at a screening of the restored copy of Badland and, in 2002, the film "Rosy-Fingered Dawn: A Film on Terrence Malick, " directed by Luciano Baracaroli, Carlo Hintermann, Gerardo Panichi and Daniele Villa was presented at the Venice Film Festival.
Press Reviews:
'This new book, put together by admiring young Italian film-makers, has found the right approach ... Explicitly not a biography, it is instead a medley of interviews and memoirs about working with Malick ... Mostly, though, it's telling practicalities, for it is a peculiarity of Malick's methods that he does not instruct even his actors about the meaning of their roles ... before [Jessica Chastain] auditioned for him, she watched all his films, which she already loved, "in chronological order again - to get a feeling of his world; I recommend it to everyone to watch all his movies again one after the other." So here's a plan for the dark days: get this tactful but highly informative book, get the films, and do just that, reading its chapters as you go.' Evening Standard
'[A] detailed read ... told through quotes from these who worked with the maverick ... An untangling insight into one of cinemas greatest enigmas.' Sunday Times
'The wonder of Terrence Malick. His extraordinary films show the beauty and violence at the heart of nature.' Sameer Rahim Prospect
'An enjoyable collection of interviews, memories and testimonials from actors and key collaborators, the book charts the continuing growth of Malick's vision, exploring his obsessions with identity, family, the natural world and the human condition through the stories of those closest to him ... accessible, conversational ... [Terence Malick: Rehearsing the Unexpected] is full of telling detail and new insight.' Sunday Business Post
'Terrence Malick: Rehearsing the Unexpected aims to unravel the creative process behind Malick's work ... the book is not so much a biography as it is an introduction to Malick's universe.' Jocks & Nerds
