I read that article, but it's weird. As there are 2 women in the film, and the character played by Rachel M. (inspired apparently by his current american wife) isn't the central character and is just in one small sequence of the film. So I suppose the dedication is to the woman who inspired the character played by Olga (and this woman is apparently Malick's former wife Michele who was french) because the movie is almost entirely focused on her. But maybe Malick wants this to remain unclear to us so that the title can mean several things…

Everything about this film comes off as uninspired compared to TOL. Even the posters.

In fact the french title only sounds like it's a dedication to the "Merveille". It doesn't sound at all like the "Merveille" is a place (like it does with the english title).
So maybe it was important for Malick to show in the title that, for some reason, he dedicates his movie to Mont Saint Michel.

The problem is not the word "Merveille". The problem is the " Ã ".
" Ã la Merveille " is a title that doesn't make much sense in french… It sounds good in english, but the french translation doesn't sound good at all…
