Terrence Malick

A clash of civilizations ensues in the early 17th century when British explorer John Smith (Colin Farrell) falls in love with Pocahontas (Q\'Orianka Kilcher), a Native American princess. Another sweeping epic from iconoclastic director Terrence Malick (Badlands, The Thin Red Line).

Terrence Malick\'s second film is a lyrical screen poem about life in America at the turn of the century. When a Chicago steel-mill worker (Richard Gere) is fired after a fight with his supervisor, he hops a train for the Great Plains with his girlfriend and his younger sister. The trio join itinerant workers following the farming season and find a place with a quiet, lonely landowner. As the year passes and the harvest nears, a fateful love triangle develops, with fiery consequences. The performances match the moody compositions in this elegy for the premodern prairie, which now stands firmly as one of the most beautiful motion pictures of all time.
