“Unless you love, your life will flash by.” It is finally here! After being attached to Black Swan the past two weeks, the trailer for Terrence Malick‘s The Tree of Life has arrived. Easily my most anticipated film of the year, this epic tale of the journey of life stars Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, and Jessica Chastain. The trailer is absolutely gorgeous and no words could convey the feeling it evokes, it just needs to be seen. Check it out below, along with the first official poster, via Apple.

Synopsis: From Terrence Malick, the acclaimed director of such classic films as Badlands, Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line, The Tree of Life is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950’s. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick’s signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life.
Fox Searchlight is releasing The Tree of Life on May 27th, 2011 after a likely Cannes Film Festival premiere.
