Entraba a dejar el link pero en Indiwire. Me sale pausa en la de la Berlinale.

La verdad es que no están muy sueltos, y parece que a veces les ponen contra las cuerdas, cosa que no entiendo.

La pregunta sobre el papel de las mujeres en la película ha provacado una respuesta hiper dispersa de Bale y otra bastante insatisfactoria de Portman, la verdad.

Ahora que hablan sobre el rodaje sí que parece que hablan más sueltos.

Hasta esta tarde a las siete que es la premiere oficial no acaba el embargo del festival sobre las reviews escritas, pero las primeras impresiones en forma de tuit están divididas, como todos los films de Malick, aunque con una tendencia al entusiasmo (bastante mayor que To The Wonder, desde luego):

@Firstshowing: Knight of Cups - Malick is BACK & better than ever! Stunning. Mesmerizing trip thru life of an actor, pretending to be anyone but himself.

Honestly I am floored by Knight of Cups. Not at all what I was expecting, but so much more in every way. Gorgeous to watch, to get lost in.

Malick continues to circle around Tree of Life's huge themes (death, longing, faith) with KNIGHT OF CUPS. Glad to say it works. #berlinale

KNIGHT OF CUPS: Well, at least I know what film we'll be arguing about for the rest of 2015. #teamkoc

The last two retweets, both on KNIGHT OF CUPS, suggest ol' Terry Malick is at it again, divisive as ever. Wonder where I'll fall this time?

Knight of Cups. If there was a movie about LA I wanted to see this was pretty much it. Surprised by how much I loved it. Very Tree of Life.

Still a bit shaken after KNIGHT OF CUPS - Malick's best since THIN RED LINE, surely. TO THE WONDER essentially an elaborate sketch for this.

Unas capturas de la rueda de prensa:



... y el póster es cojonudo

Un saludo.

Algunas imágenes del photocall:

Un par de periodicos españoles se han pasado por el forro el embargo...


El País habla de división de opiniones:

Malick intenta atrapar otra vez la vida y la espiritualidad en ‘Knight of cups’

El crítico de La Vanguardia lo tiene claro:

Terrence Malick se estrella en la Berlinale con 'Knight of cups'

Esperaremos a ver que dice la prensa internacional...

Por cierto, el dibujo del poster es una ilustración de 1764 hecha por el escritor místico y alquímista Dionisio Andreas Freher titulado "El árbol del alma."

P.D: un momento de la rueda de prensa en la que uno de los periodistas ha confundido a uno de los productores con Malick:

Pues ya van saliendo las críticas internacionales y, aunque no son tan entusiastas como los tuits presagiaban, tampoco son tan demoledoras como la anteriores de la prensa nacional:

The Hollywood Reporter la aprueba con reservas:

Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman star in the story of a screenwriter trying to make sense of his strange surroundings.

Having swung so far out of orbit on To the Wonder to have been sucked into a creative black hole, Terrence Malick makes it about half-way back to terra firma with Knight of Cups. A resolutely poetic and impressionist film about creative paralysis, indecision, father and sons, female muses and life slipping away as surely as water down a river, the seventh feature from this takes-his-time writer-director is far more partial to free association and stream-of-consciousness notations than to conventional storytelling. The upshot is a certain tedium and repetitiveness along with the rhythmic niceties and imaginative riffs. But whereas his last work of real weight, The Tree of Life, achieved rarified moments of emotional and lyrical expressiveness, this one mostly operates on a more dramatically mundane, private and even narcissistic level. While the name cast will help, box office potential is still very modest.

Justin Chang, en Variety es bastante más entusiasta:

Christian Bale plays a lost soul adrift in Hollywood in Terrence Malick's latest impressionistic drama.

You go into a Terrence Malick movie expecting a gorgeous collage of sound and image, but not necessarily the sight of a neon-lit strip club, a Caesars Palace pool party, or a fashion shoot where a model is told to pose like “a dirty f—ing housewife.” In other words, there’s something at once vividly familiar and strikingly different about “Knight of Cups,” a feverish plunge into the toxic cloud of decadence swirling around a Los Angeles screenwriter gone to seed. Having made contemporary American life seem both recognizable and alien in “To the Wonder,” Malick now extends that film’s tender romantic ballet into a corrosive critique of Hollywood hedonism — a poisoned valentine to the industry by way of a Fellini-esque bacchanal. Those who have had their fill of the director’s impressionistic musings will find his seventh feature as empty as the lifestyle it puts on display; for the rest of us, there’s no denying this star-studded, never-a-dull-moment cinematic oddity represents another flawed but fascinating reframing of man’s place in the modern world.
