Paul Thomas Anderson’s movies are almost always worth a look, and even some of the more divisive entries are still impressive in their presentation. This December sees the release of PHANTOM THREAD, which reunites him with actor Daniel Day-Lewis for their first work together since THERE WILL BE BLOOD. Lesley Manville and Vicky Krieps co-star, but the real allure of this production is it will serve as the final acting role for Daniel Day-Lewis, who announced he’s retiring from Hollywood. Let’s hope he goes out with a bang… can you imagine him winning the Oscar for his final film performance? It just might happen. Take a look at the trailer below and tell us your thoughts in the comments. This definitely looks more like art house fare than a mainstream film, so it will be interesting to see if it receives a wide release.

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. 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. Phantom Thread is Paul Thomas Anderson’s eighth movie, and his second collaboration with Daniel Day-Lewis.

PHANTOM THREAD opens December 25, 2017
