Abstract

Since his explosive debut with the indie sensation 'Hard Eight', Paul Thomas Anderson has established himself as one of contemporary cinema's most exciting artists. His 2002 feature 'Punch-Drunk Love' radically reimagined the romantic comedy. Critics hailed 'There Will Be Blood' as a key film of the new millennium. In 'The Master', Anderson jarred audiences with dreamy amorphousness and a departure from conventional story mechanics. Acclaimed film scholar and screenwriter George Toles approaches these three films in particular, and Anderson's oeuvre in general, with a focus on the role of emergence and the production of the unaccountable.

Abstract

"This volume will provide a comprehensive critical study of all of Paul Thomas Anderson's feature films, from Hard Eight (1996) to Licorice Pizza (2021), as well as his under-studied short films and music videos. As a filmmaker who came into prominence at the height of the Tarantino-driven Indiewood period, in which major studios gave unprecedented creative freedom to young directors, Anderson began his career as something of an enfant terrible, a defiant self-anointed auteur who wore his influences on his sleeve with such overstuffed epics as Boogie Nights and Magnolia. As Ethan Warren argues, however, Anderson's maximalist ethos eventual gave way to a more restrained period, in which both his directorial choices (such as camera movement, shot selection, and editing choices) and his characters abruptly switched from the earlier logorrheal mode to one much more restrained. Most recently, Warren sees Anderson as entering a new phases of his career in which elements of both postmodern intensified style and a more classical restraint are combined to plumb greater artist depths than Anderson was able to reach before. Warren covers these three periods of Anderson's career thematically, focusing on key areas of interest, such as the role of place (specifically Anderson's native San Fernando valley), the hyper-masculine conflicts that frequently drive his narratives, and on the director's repeated simplifications and surface-level engagement with history. Interspersed with these critical chapters are ones that deal with other aspects of Anderson's career, including an analysis of his screenwriting methods through readings of early and unpublished or unproduced drafts of his screenplays; his career as a music video director for Fiona Apple and Haim; and a technical analysis of his consistent use of filmic alienation effects"--

Abstract

Paul Thomas Anderson has been described as a true auteur and among the foremost filmmaking talents of his generation. His films have received 25 Academy Award nominations, and he has worked closely with the finest actors of our time, including Daniel Day-Lewis, Joaquin Phoenix, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. In Paul Thomas Anderson : Masterworks, Anderson's entire oeuvre-from Boogie Nights (1997), There Will Be Blood (2007), and The Master (2012) to his music videos for Radiohead to his early short films-is examined in illustrated detail for the first time.Anderson's influences, his style, and the recurring themes of reinvention, alienation, destiny, and ambition that course through his movies are analyzed and supplemented by firsthand interviews with Anderson's closest collaborators and illuminated by film stills, archival photos, original illustrations, and a vibrant, engaging design aesthetic. Masterworks is a tribute to the dreamers, drifters, and evil dentists who populate his world
