With that being said, a festival programmer told me that the film was screened for the Venice Film Festival a week or so ago and that it will also be screened for a major American film festival in a few weeks’ time. If you want timeline of all the intel I had gotten these last few months concerning Malick’s still-unreleased opus: On 12.13.21 I reported that Malick and Cannes boss Thierry Fremaux were engaged in serious discussions to finally have the film premiere on the Croisette in May. Then I was told on 02.04.22 that there were no more discussions between Malick and Cannes about the possibility of a premiere. On 04.04.22, a Telluride programmer had mentioned that there was “a big circle of silence going on with the film.” On 04.05.22 a filmmaker friend wrote a reply, telling me: “I can report that Mr. Malick is deep in editing of that film — which probably will have another, as-yet-unreported title — and there is no end in sight. To the point that some around him feel it may wind up an unfinished symphony. Definitely not Cannes this year, definitely not anywhere this year.” “The Way of the Wind” will reportedly convey passages “in the life of Christ” through the representation of evangelical parables. Jesus Christ’s descent into the world of the dead, also known as his “descent into hades,” is rumored to be one of the parables that will be included in the film. The cast includes the likes of Matthias Schoenaerts (as Saint Peter), Géza Röhrig (as Jesus), Ben Kingsley, Joseph Fiennes, and Mark Rylance (as Satan). The film was shot in July of 2019.
