'And the Earth Was Without Form'

Visual Effects and Wonder in Terrence Malick’s 'Voyage of Time' (2016)

  • Chantal Poch Universitat Pompeu Fabra

Abstract

Terrence Malick’s Voyage of Time puts the latest technology into the search for the oldest images we can think about, those of our origin. Taking this paradox as a starting point, we will explore precedents of visual effects in science documentaries and their role in Malick’s particular quest for wonder. Are VFX capable of truth?
