Malick's Knight of Cups

There's a certain film director, of whom I have a not so secret love affair with, whom has a new film coming out... I found the title and poster for the film most intriguing. Terrence Malick's Knight of Cups had it's World Premiere at the 65th Berlin Film Festival just yesterday. The film is described as such:

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. The road to the East stretches out before him. Will he set forth?

As is with all of Malick's previous films... I'm sure this one will be steeped in layers of meaning. Check out the poster...
