This has done nothing to dim the luminous quality of his films, from \u003ci\u003eBadlands\u003c\/i\u003e (1973) and \u003ci\u003eDays of Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e (1978), to later works such as \u003ci\u003eThe Thin Red Line\u003c\/i\u003e (1998), \u003ci\u003eThe Tree of Life\u003c\/i\u003e (2011), and \u003ci\u003eA Hidden Life\u003c\/i\u003e (2019). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Magic Hours: The Films and Hidden Life of Terrence Malick\u003c\/i\u003e is the first true biography of this visionary filmmaker.
