Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 The Paul Thomas Anderson-Daniel Day Lewis fashion film has a title and synopsis Phantom Thread Quote Set in the glamour of 1950s post-war London, renowned dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his sister Cyril (Lesley Manville) are at the center of British fashion, dressing royalty, movie stars, heiresses, socialites, debutants and dames with the distinct style of The House of Woodcock. Women come and go through Woodcock’s life, providing the confirmed bachelor with inspiration and companionship, until he comes across a young, strong-willed woman, Alma (Vicky Krieps), who soon becomes a fixture in his life as his muse and lover. Once controlled and planned, he finds his carefully tailored life disrupted by love. With his latest film, Paul Thomas Anderson paints an illuminating portrait both of an artist on a creative journey, and the women who keep his world running. Like basically all PTA films, its success hangs on the execution, the writing and performances, not the plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,554 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hmm. Always a pleasure to watch Lesley Manville work. This has the ability to be either a masterpiece, or complete pants. I hope the former, but I suspect the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Paul Thomas Anderson has yet to make a movie that is "complete pants" so the odds are in its favor. Then again, even the best directors stumble eventually, perhaps it is his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,346 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Probably in the beginning, yes, but as the movie progresses, the camera will be only interested in close-ups of the characters' faces.

Not as noted for extreme closeups, but the Coens also find weird interesting faces especially for rounding out bit parts (but also hire character actors in main roles too of course).

A24 4,346 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Geostorm, which would have been a total hit 10 years ago, is another huge flop for Warner Brothers. It seems the only thing that is not failing these days is Disney (superheroes and Star Wars). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
