Paul Thomas Anderson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Post-War Fashion, and an intriguing tale of obsession between artist and muse – what’s not to like? For anyone worried that Phantom Thread may be one of those films that cannot match the hype – don’t. Director Paul Thomas Anderson expertly constructed Phantom Thread in the same manner his main character, Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day-Lewis), constructs visually arresting dresses. For any fashion lover, the film’s, parade of beautiful garments created by costume designer, Mark Bridges, are a sight to behold – only adding to the artisanal quality of the Anderson’s filmmaking. Beyond the exquisite garments, Phantom Thread is a labyrinth of emotional depth, with beautiful adornments expertly weaved throughout the film’s tale of a dark and obsessive love.
