Olga Kurylenko has heaped praise on filmmaker Terrence Malick.
The actress has teamed up with the maverick filmmaker in an untitled project which is due out later this year.
And Kurylenko admits that she has enjoyed her time working with the filmmaker.
Speaking to Collider the actress said: "It was wonderful. I love him. I'm passionate about him.
"He's extremely smart, extremely deep, and profoundly kind and real. It's not a mask.
"He's a wonderful filmmaker, and very shy. If he were to read this, he would say, 'Why would you say this? It's not true!' He's so sweet. He thinks I'm exaggerating, but I'm not."
The untitled project sees Kurylenko team up with Rachel McAdams, Rachel Weisz, Jessica Chastain, Ben Affleck and Javier Bardem.
And that is just one of several projects in the pipeline for the actress as she has also completed work on The Expatriate, Empires of the Deep and Seven Psychopaths.
