KNIGHT OF CUPS follows Rick, an uninspired screenwriter living on the event horizon of all the vice, and some of the virtues, Los Angeles has to offer. He is a slave to the Hollywood system; addicted to success but simultaneously despairing at the emptiness of his life. With the death of his brother Billy hanging over him like a shadow and his surviving brother down on his luck, Rick seeks distraction in the company of women. Women seem to know him better than he know himself, bringing him closer to the heart of things, closer to understanding his place. And while the parties, the dalliances, and the career remain unfulfilling - each woman, each man he's met through the course of his life has served him in some way as a guide, a messenger. This visceral journey through one man's City of Angels has just begun. (official distributor synopsis)

Terrence Malick will definitely never be my favorite director, and his film "Knight of Cups" only confirmed that. Usually, I don't mind watching a bad movie, but this bothered me. The overall shooting of the film, which seemed disconnected from the main character, annoyed and irritated me incredibly. No, I never want to see this again.
