Set in the gIamour of 1950’s post-war London, renowned dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock (DanieI 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 Iife, providing the confirmed bacheIor with inspiration and companionship, until he comes across a young, strong-wiIIed woman, Alma (Vicky Krieps), who soon becomes a fixture in his Iife as his muse and lover. Once controIled and planned, he finds his carefully tailored life disrupted by love.
With his Iatest film, PauI Thomas Anderson paints an iIIuminating 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 colIaboration with DanieI Day-Lewis. |
