The Master
Paul Thomas Anderson, 2012
Fans are still unraveling Paul Thomas Anderson’s sixth and most elliptical feature, about the relationship between a drifting, emotionally regressive World War II veteran (Joaquin Phoenix) and a cult leader (Philip Seymour Hoffman) who is his physical and temperamental opposite. The production design’s extraordinary evocation of the period, the shimmery detail of the imagery (Anderson revived the nearly obsolete 65-millimeter format to shoot it) and the intensity of the performances — including Amy Adams’s turn as the cult leader’s wife — all contribute to the film’s durability and mystery.
