Book review - "The Magic Hours: The Films and Hidden Life of Terrence Malick" by John Beasdale

 Beasdale runs a terrific podcast on film books and here is his own - a solid book on Malick, the most enigmatic and experimental of the movie brats. Well researched, decent insights - the main problem isn't Beasdale's fault it's that Malick isn't that interesting. A few divorces and a suiciding brother hints at something. None of the films included a memorable disaster. I'll be honest - also I'm not super familiar with Malick's ouvre. It s a very good book.
