Zodiac (2007) : dir. David Fincher
“Terrence Malick, more than almost any other filmmaker I can name, his work is immediately recognizable … When you think of a visual style, when you think of the visual language of a film, there tends to be a natural separation of the visual style and the narrative elements. But with the greats, whether it’s Stanley Kubrick or Terrence Malick or Hitchcock, what you’re seeing is an inseparable, a vital relationship between the image and the story it’s telling.” - Christopher Nolan
“I think that with Malick you’re seeing something that was thought about and meditated over and you’re seeing somebody who’s making choices that are specifically designed to evoke a feeling … I’m sure for actors, Terry Malick is one of the people who you look at and you go ‘I’m going to go and give myself over to something that’s going to allow me to disappear into the fabric of something else. I’m going to be truly part of a bigger puzzle.’” - David Fincheravid fi
