Resumo(s)
In Des Hommes et des Dieux and The Tree of Life, both Xavier Beauvois and Terrence Malick are concerned with values that from the beginning of time to our day have set the human heart wondering and speculating. These issues are brought to their respective films in a distinctive style, which, however, may be closely associated with a common trait in both directors — creative imagination and zest to make the most out of the art of cinema. Their skilful exploration of filmic
devices, their invitation to other artistic expressions, namely music and painting,
to figure in their films in a signifying role, is tentatively accounted for in this essay, in order to show how a visual narrative, in the case of Beauvois, and an ever-flowing succession of images, in the case of Malick, may contribute to illustrate
unsuspected structural and thematic affinities, their remarkable differences
notwithstanding.
