PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON | USA | 2017 | 130 MIN | R | ENGLISH, FRENCH | 4K
Like a well-tailored austere dress out of Reynolds Woodcock’s own mind, PHANTOM THREAD is at first a seemingly pristine romantic period piece, but underneath its semblance of perfection is a rousing, nasty, and comedic play of power dynamics (and quite possibly PTA’s best!)
Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Vicky Krieps, Lesley Manville
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.
