As Oscar season approaches, it's time to make sure you've seen each movie that could potentially be on the ballot. The Castro Theatre is bringing back Terrence Malick’s impressionistic story of a family in 1950s Texas for one day only. 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. -Get More Info on the Screenings Here 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. Winner of the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes International Film Festival. Winner Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography - SF Film Critics Circle. 2011 | 139 min | DCP
