Knight of Cups
The poster resembles a tarot card, with a man upside down facing sideways at the top, haloed by the moon. Below him are California palm trees with the Santa Monica Mountains in the background. Above the man is the tagline: "A Quest", and below the palm trees are the credits and title.

Knight of Cups is a 2015 American drama film[4] written and directed by Terrence Malick and produced by Nicolas Gonda, Sarah Green and Ken Kao. The film features an ensemble cast, starring Christian Bale as the central character.

The film follows screenwriter Rick (Bale) on an odyssey through Los Angeles and Las Vegas as he undertakes a series of adventures with colorful figures, identified by seven tarot cards from the Major Arcana, with Bale as the Knight of Cups.[5][6] The film is loosely inspired by, and at times quotes directly from, the 1678 Christian allegory The Pilgrim's Progress, the Acts of Thomas passage "Hymn of the Pearl",[7] and Suhrawardi's A Tale of the Western Exile.[8]

After over two years in post-production, the film premiered in the main competition section at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival on February 8, 2015 to mixed reviews. It was released in the United States on March 4, 2016, by Broad Green Pictures[9] to more mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike.[10][11]
