“You have love in you. I know it.” That’s the takeaway from the first trailer of Terrence Malick’s “Knight of Cups,” the latest inscrutable film from the reclusive director that was just announced as part of the Berlin Film Festival. The trailer debuted Monday with clips of Christian Bale, Natalie Portman and Cate Blanchett indulging in sex, guns and club life.
We know little about the plot, but according to the film’s logline, Bale’s character is surrounded by “temptations, celebrity and excess.” Malick fans have been waiting for “Knight of Cups” since the director released his last two films, “The Tree of Life” and “To the Wonder” in 2011 and 2012, respectively.
