Phantom Thread (2017)

USA | 130 min | R | Dir. Paul Thomas Anderson

"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." (Official Site) 

"Like the couture of the House of Woodcock, Anderson’s direction is elegant and meticulous." - Christopher Orr (The Atlantic)
