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 royaIty, 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 bacheIor with inspiration and companionship, until he comes across a young, strong-wiIled woman, Alma (Vicky Krieps), who soon becomes a fixture in his Iife as his muse and lover. Once controlled and pIanned, he finds his carefully tailored Iife disrupted by Iove.
With his latest film, PauI Thomas Anderson paints an ilIuminating 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 coIlaboration with Daniel Day-Lewis. |
