00:00In 2011, The Tree of Life received very mixed reactions at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:04I'm making a video a day about the Cannes Film Festival until Dailymotion invites me to the Festival
00:08from Cannes.
00:09And hurry up because I need to get myself in shape to go on the mat
00:12Red, though.
00:13When The Tree of Life was screened at Cannes in 2011, no one reacted normally.
00:17The room is divided in two.
00:19On one side, spectators who are fascinated, almost hypnotized,
00:22And on the other side, people who are completely lost.
00:24Terrence Malick's film does not tell a classic story.
00:27It's not a linear narrative; there's no obvious structure.
00:30but we see images, memories, questions about life, the universe, childhood.
00:35There are even sequences about the creation of the world.
00:38And the real question is, is this still a narrative film or is it an experience?
00:42?
00:42And in Cannes, it's causing immediate division.
00:44Some applaud the visual beauty of this film, while others completely lose interest.
00:49However, the jury decides and awards him the Palme d'Or.
00:52And that's where Cannes becomes very interesting.
00:54Because the festival doesn't necessarily reward what everyone agrees on,
00:57It sometimes rewards those who offer something different.
01:01And The Tree of Life is a perfect example.
