The highlight of Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life” is an 18-minute montage of galloping dinosaurs, exploding volcanoes, floating amoebas, majestic rainbows, wriggling jellyfish and a giant meteor hurtling through space. Not a single person or human voice interrupts the kaleidoscopic flow.

It’s a perfect reflection of Malick’s eccentric filmmaking style, one that emphasizes mood and images over plot and drama.
