Terrence Malick’s Production Designer (Jack Fisk) Talks About THE TREE OF LIFE

“father… mother… always you wrestle inside my immaculately designed sets… always you will.”

this is a monumentally good way to spend 8:20 of your time. believe. Fisk is a legend (look at him casually mention that he worked on Mulholland Drive — no big deal), among the best at what he does, and he sure seems cool with talking about it candidly. speaking with The Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Eugene Hernandez, Fisk reveals just how long The Tree of Life has been gestating inside of Malick’s kooky bearded head, and talks about the hows and whys as to what was required to transform that small texan house and the 5 blocks around it into an entire half-remembered boyhood. 

give it a whirl.
