Film at Fulton: 'The Tree of Life'

The Film at Fulton series fosters the collective viewing and discussion of exciting films on campus. Each film is chosen for its artistic and thematic resonance and is followed by a panel discussion. Screenings are free and open to the public, 3 p.m. the first Sunday of each month. The Tree of Life is screened April 5. The Tree of Life is the most visually spectacular film directed by Terrence Malick. The scale of the film is huge, spanning all time and space, yet it’s grounded in something very personally poignant: the struggle of one person to come to terms with his authoritarian father, especially in the wake of his brother’s death. As heartbreaking as the film is, you won’t want to miss its staggering beauty on our big screen, nor its vision of how a person can heal over time.
