PFS Members were asked to select their top 5 films not included in the Sight and Sound 100 series. These are those films.
After an unforgettable year showcasing the greatest films of all time in our Sight and Sound 100 series, we asked PFS Members to chime in with their own picks for top five films not included in the countdown. Throughout 2024 we will reveal and screen PFS Members’ picks across our monthly programs and limited series.
Part of the Philadelphia Film Society’s Director Series : PTA series.
Simultaneously a contemporary film maverick with an ostentatious flair and a devotee to the cinematic formalism road paved before him, Paul Thomas Anderson is a craftsman of films that warrant multiple viewings for any cinephile. Over the course of nine singular films, PTA has introduced a world of larger-than-life characters on the brink of collapse, only to be saved by a twist of fate or destroyed by their own hubris. His cinematography alludes to a vast vault of old Hollywood greats, yet stops short of homage with his idiosyncrasies and applaud-worthy technique. After an exciting year of blood and vices, we are excited to present the remaining titles from Paul Thomas Anderson’s filmography.
