Tree Of Life

Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain and Sean Penn star in this experimental coming-of-age drama written and directed by Terrence Malick. Jack (Hunter McCracken) is one of three brothers brought up in the 1950s by his spiritually-minded mother (Chastain) and pragmatic, no-nonsense father (Pitt). After witnessing a disturbing event that shakes his world to the core, young Jack struggles to reconcile the differing world views of his parents. Later, as a jaded middle-aged man with a failed marriage behind him, Jack (Penn) retraces his emotional journey from the hope and innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years in a quest to rediscover meaning in his life. The cast also includes Tye Sheridan, Joanna Going and Fiona Shaw.
