Richard Brody writes about the director Terrence Malick and a new biography of him by John Bleasdale, “The Magic Hours.”
Malick was born in 1943, in Ottawa, Illinois, and raised in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. His father, Emil, an engineer who’d studied at M.I.T., was born to immigrants who fled the Ottoman Empire before the First World War. Malick’s mother, Irene, who attended the University of Chicago, was from a family of farmers, of Irish descent. She stayed home to raise Terrence and his two younger brothers Larry and Chris.
The contract was signed in 1991, but the producers had money trouble, went to a studio for financing, and got it in 1995. The film was shot, on a budget of fifty-six million dollars, two years later. Although it had a script—indeed, in one draft, five hundred pages of script—Malick again shot in a freely improvisational way. Bleasdale writes, “When early on in the shoot Malick called, ‘Cut,’ he was disheartened to see the makeup and hair people rush in to touch up the actors.
