Paul Thomas Anderson and Daniel Day-Lewis team up once again to create another memorable movie.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest movie, “Phantom Thread,” is another memorable work from the auteur.
Daniel Day-Lewis gives his usual tour-de-force performance, but it’s his costar Vicky Krieps who is the standout.
I personally believe Paul Thomas Anderson is at his best when he delves into themes of obsession, and “Phantom Thread” (in theaters on Christmas) is full of that.
Movies like “Boogie Nights,” “There Will Be Blood,” and “The Master” examine characters driven by desires that will never be attained. With every achievement reached, there’s another that is seen on the horizon. It’s their drug of choice: never be satisfied.
In “Phantom Thread” Anderson uses the character of Reynolds Woodcock as his latest example. Woodcock is a dressmaker in 1950s London whose entire life revolves around his obsession of making the most beautiful dresses he can imagine.
