The Missing Jack of Spades
15 September 2015 | by (Switzerland) – See all my reviews

Knight of Cups a film by Terrence Malick, a film edited by A.J. Edwards, Keith Fraase, Geoffrey Richman, Mark Yoshikawa… commissioned, produced, empowered by two hundreds other people lugging one thousandth of a meter behind… Mr. Malick, how could you have allowed this to happen? didn't you have the insight or that achieved mastery to prevent it? Who knows (no question mark here). Knight of Cups is a pure shiver of love to film making, but a monstrous thing took place, your people tricked you - everything happens for a reason - and with this boring truth they pilfered your vibrant motion pictures, in pieces, out of word out of feel, out of peace, out of one's lifetime, all because that was needed for their – yours? – heavenly announced choir. Dear Terrence I welcome you, call me at any time of day or night, it will not take us more than three weeks – and I'd help you, if you like, to turn your monotonous, hopeless shine - silver - screen to rust.
