Christian Bale leads this endeavour from Terrence Malick (The Tree of Life) as a man caught between his own self-delusion and the women that occupy his love life (including Cate Blanchett, Imogen Poots and Natalie Portman).
Says the official synopsis: "Once there was a young prince whose father, the king of the East, sent him down into Egypt to find a pearl. But when the prince arrived, the people poured him a cup. Drinking it, he forgot he was the son of a king, forgot about the pearl and fell into a deep sleep."

Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"The result is ludicrous self-parody - somewhere between a Calvin Klein aftershave advertisement and a coffee-table book about the modernist mansions of the rich and famous."
