In this sequence from Terrence Malick's Tree of Life (2011) the music of Zbigniew Preisner's 'Lacrimosa' accompanies a series of galactic vignettes, giving us a God's-eye view of a young cosmos as the music induces us to weep. (Lacrimosa means 'weeping'.) The sequence continues with a compressed retelling of the formation of life on the surface of a planet, presumably Earth. Imagine the surprise of movie-goers expecting a Brad Pitt family drama. #music #movies
