As  nonfiction editor J. M. Tyree writes in his introduction to the feature, “when I asked poets, novelists, artists, and critics about the films that meant the most to them, Malick was the figure that kept cropping up in our conversations.” Gradually what came together—and what is presented now in our summer issue—is eleven takes on nine films. “Some of the pieces are personal essays while others offer critical perspectives. Some of the writers remain in Malick’s corner, while others are falling out of love before our eyes.”
