Listen "The Thin Red Line"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dive deep into Terrence Malick's haunting and poetic war film The Thin Red Line (1998). More than just a story of soldiers in battle, Malick’s adaptation of James Jones’ novel explores the inner lives of men caught between the brutality of war and the beauty of the natural world. We unpack the film’s meditative narration, sweeping cinematography, and philosophical themes.
The crew also delves into Malick's twenty-year hiatus from filmmaking, as well as the absurd and chaotic pre-production and production of the film.
