WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Deep within the heart of the Austin, Texas music scene, two couples – struggling lyricists BV (Gosling) and Faye (Mara), and music mogul Cook (Fassbender) and his waitress girlfriend (Portman) – chase their respective dreams of success amidst a rock ’n’ roll landscape of seduction and betrayal…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Terrence Malick is back with yet another experimental project of surreal imagery and philosophical ponderings, which is great for fans of this side of the notoriously-private director but not so much for those that are seriously fed up with this phase of his.
