The National Concert Hall and Wordless Music present the world premiere of The Tree of Life, written and directed by Terrence Malick.

For this occasion, Wordless Music has partnered with Fox Searchlight Pictures to produce a new, music-less print of the film which the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra and choir will perform alongside.

The score for Malick’s 2011 masterpiece features music by Bach, Couperin, Mozart, Berlioz, Brahms, Smetana, Mussorgsky, Mahler, Holst, Górecki, Tavener, Giya Kancheli, Barry Guy and Zbigniew Preisner.

Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes, The Tree of Life was chosen by Roger Ebert as ‘One of the Ten Greatest Films of All Time’ in Sight & Sound Magazine’s 2012 critics poll, and the ‘Best Film of the Decade so Far’ by over 300 critics and writers this year.

From Terrence Malick, the acclaimed director of such classic films as Badlands, Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line, The Tree of Life is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950s. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick’s signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life.

The Tree of Life screening is presented by the National Concert Hall and Wordless Music in partnership with Fox Searchlight Pictures as part of Perspectives.
