To the Wonder
Directed by Terrence Malick
Produced by Brothers K Productions, Redbud Pictures
A poetic, meditative exploration of romantic and spiritual doubt, told through lyrical narration and visual beauty rather than plot momentum.
Neil is torn between two loves: Marina, the European woman who comes to the United States to be with him, and Jane, the old flame from his hometown he reconnects with. Neil’s doubts about his life and loves are reflected in the crisis of faith experienced by Father Quintana, who only sees pain and the loss of hope in the world.
