Video: To the Wonder: official trailer Watch the trailer for the forthcoming Terrence Malick film, To the Wonder, starring Ben Affleck and Rachel McAdams. The film, which is only the seventh from the reclusive American director in over 40 years, is a romantic drama which centres on an American man who reconnects with a woman from his hometown after his marriage to a European woman falls apart. Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Olga Kurylenko and Javier Bardem all star in the film, which premiered at Venice Film Festival earlier this year. In the main this is a film of tender, often rapturous beauty. Despite spanning two continents, it is also the director's smallest-feeling film since his 1973 debut, Badlands, although the ideas it engages with are as expansive as any tackled in cinema. You have to accept Malick on his own terms, and for those who do, To the Wonder will feel like a tall pitcher of Long Island Iced Tea on a hot summer's day: glistening, sweet and restorative.
