Awesome Paul Thomas Anderson

There’s no such thing as a Paul Thomas Anderson film we don’t love, and this one has us waiting very impatiently. This wholly original action/comedy lives up to its title in the most maniacally satirical way with Leonardo DiCaprio and Benicio Del Toro playing bonkers former revolutionaries who reunite to rescue a kid. Drops 9.26.25.

Writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film is a coming-of-age story set in the 1970s. It follows the story of young love in the San Fernando Valley and the pitfalls of high school romance. Alana Haim, Cooper Hoffman (son of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman), Sean Penn, Tom Waits, Bradley Cooper, and Benny Safdie star.

Think three talented sisters rocking out is cool? Now add a drum circle and an intimate short film from Paul Thomas Anderson and put it all together – it’s Haim’s new LP Something to Tell You being recorded. A valentine (with one f bomb) for the ears for sure.

Film essayist Nerdwriter1 looks at Paul Thomas Anderson’s masterwork There Will Be Blood as an example of how its relatively modest use of edits and subtle framing adjustments have much greater emotional impact than the crazy rapid cuts we’re used to these days.

You’ll want to put on your best pair of headphones, turn down the lights, and drink in Paul Thomas Anderson’s stripped down video of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and a vintage Roland CR-78 performing Present Tense from their album A Moon Shaped Pool.
