Phantom Thread (2017)
Written & directed
by Paul Thomas Anderson this film stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Vicky
Krieps and Lesley Manville. A high society dressmaker set in his
eccentric ways begins a relationship with a waitress.
Somewhere between a
Merchant-Ivory film and a Gothic horror this film is a surprisingly
gripping character study that comes to a bizarre conclusion. As
always Daniel Day-Lewis gives a transformative performance that is
worth the price of admission by itself. The script certainly captures
something of the reserved British upper classes as it explores the
messed up relationships between the central characters.
4/5
