![]() “He sometimes cubizes scenes, which means that he will take a scene and shoot it in three or four different places,” says Kirby. Malick’s got other favorite terms as well, borrowed not just from nature but also from art. It’s a shy moment that he likes to capture.” A Hidden Life star August Diehl, who plays Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian farmer imprisoned and executed during World War II for refusing to pledge loyalty to Hitler, recalls one such instance on the movie’s bucolic South Tyrol location: “I was sleeping on the meadow, because I was so exhausted, and when I woke up the camera was here,” he says, holding his hand a few inches from his face. Then there’s “quail hunting.” Here’s how production designer Sebastian Krawinkel describes that term: “Sometimes, on set, or even on the way to set, if Terry sees the perfect light by accident, or if he sees a perfect moment, like the actor is lying in the shadow under a tree and there’s a fly on his nose, for example - that’s what he calls quail hunting. “If the sky is too blue, and he can’t quite get the image he’s looking for, he’ll say, ‘Let’s jump over there, and we’ll do a small scene in the shade of the wall of that house.’” “He’s not a fan of blue skies,” says Scott Kirby, first assistant director on the filmmaker’s latest, the historical drama A Hidden Life. Terrence Malick calls them “rabbit holes.” The term refers to scenes (or images, or quick exchanges) that can be shot when the light’s not right. ![]() Photo: Reiner Bajo/Fox Searchlight Pictures ![]()
