Knight of Cups, with Steven DeLay (Malick 7)

Continuing their examination of the Weightless trilogy, Thomas and Steven explore Knight of Cups, Malick's 2015 film that dreamily depicts a screenwriter's search for meaning, as he wanders through the maze of Hollywood life. Analyzing the film's gnostic and tarot reference points, they again seek to discern whether Malick is subverting standard Hollywood spirituality with a distinctly Christian vision. Thomas theorizes that Malick's use of the tarot is a sly and sophisticated critique of Hollywood hedonism as well as the occult worldview that underpins it.
