Cannes 2019: 10 Most Buzzed About Movies

5. A Hidden Life

The Lighthouse
Fox Searchlight Pictures

Terrence Malick is an extremely unpredictable director. Famous for films such as Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line, Malick has often struggled with bloated, mixed reviewed films in the past few years.

A Hidden Life has been hailed as a return to form for the acclaimed director. While clocking in at a hefty 173 minutes, the historical drama set amidst World War II in Austria was heralded by critics for its breathtaking scenery and ambitious scope.

Though it won't be for everyone, fans of Malick's previous famous outing with Days of Heaven will surely find a lot to appreciate here in its beauty.
