Tree of Life | Terrence Malick

For "The Tree of Life", the director Terrence Malick once again collaborated with the production designer Jack Fisk, with whom he has worked since his first film, "Badlands" (1973).  While "The Tree of Life" covers the origin of life and, to some degree, the history of the universe, a significant portion of its running time takes place in a small Texas town in the 1950s.  “We tried to make it as universal as possible and never do anything that would pull you out of the story, generally we wanted to create a place that many people could relate to."
