1.A Hidden Life
Against all odds, the once-reclusive filmmaker Terrence Malick became remarkably prolific in the last decade, such that one recent article declared the 2010s “the decade of Terrence Malick.” Of the five narrative films the Christian filmmaker released in this decade, the first (2011’s The Tree of Life) and the last (this year’s A Hidden Life) are the best.
