Phantom Thread Official Trailer 1 In cinemas February 2, 2018 Genre: Drama Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Lesley Manville, Vicky Krieps Directed by: Paul Thomas Anderson ("There Will Be Blood", "Magnolia," "The Master") Written by: Paul Thomas Anderson Set in the glamour of 1950's 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.
Phantom Thread is Daniel Day-Lewis’s final film before retirement, and I can't quiet figure out how I feel about it. Both him retiring, and the film.
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, and is the second collaboration between Day-Lewis and Anderson, following 2008’s oil-boom drama There Will Be Blood. As with that film, the music for Phantom Thread has been composed by Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood.
The simple answer to this movie is, "Yes," even if it looks a bit depressing. Because he's retiring, and because of the film.
In 1999, Jim Carrey portrayed his idol Andy Kaufman in "Man on the Moon." For twenty years, the behind-the-scenes footage has been withheld...until now. Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond - With a Very Special, Contractually Obligated Mention of Tony Clifton premieres November 17th, only on Netflix.
This fascinating new documentary from American Movie director Chris Smith does several things at once: it is a portrait of two of the most inspired and original comic performers of the last half-century; an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at an actor's total immersion into an exceedingly challenging role; and a personal, heartfelt homage from one genius mischief-maker to another. Get ready to laugh. And squirm (via).
And I can't wait.
