Cinema: Death or Fulfillment?

Is cinema dead? Not while Terrence Malick is still alive: Though even when he leaves us, even if the big-budget epic films creating our contemporary mythology steal all the attention, epic-mythic cinema is probably closer than small niche films to cinema’s ultimate purpose in our civilization: to work out the cosmological and thematic structure of
