PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON | USA | 2012 | 138 MIN | R | ENGLISH
PTA’s greatest achievement to date is an intimate character study and masterclass in acting about the complicated relationship between a temperamental veteran navigating PTSD and a charismatic leader in the aftermath of World War II.
Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Jesse Plemmons
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.
