List: Top 3 Malick Moments

This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we discussed the latest film from director Terrence Malick, Knight of Cups. Malick is certainly a polarizing director but it’s hard to deny the beauty of his imagery and how he’s taken full advantage of the cinematic experience. And for our Top 3 this week, we took full advantage of the opportunity to discuss the moments that represent that exactly. From Badlands to even Knight of Cups, Malick has featured some profound and unforgettable moments that will certainly go down in history.

That being said, what Malick moments would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:
