Christopher Nolan on 'Phantom Thread'

[tanis]

Phantom Thread is one of the greatest films of all time, with absolutely outstanding performances by all.

the music of Phantom Thread was amazing

It's always a pleasure to watch two masters appreciating each other's work

I loved Phantom Thread. It seriously surprised me at how much I enjoyed it.

This is my favorite Paul Thomas Anderson movie. It has the most sharply defined characters and the clearest narrative arc of any of his movies. It explores the power struggle and codependence that exists in many relationships. These are things we've all probably felt in relationships but you rarely see explored on screen. It's also darkly funny.

Another interesting thing about Phantom Thread’s audio is that you can clearly hear the dialogue – allowing the audience to decipher and understand what the characters are saying.

This was a confounding revelation for Nolan.

This is a perfectly fitting review to understand what Nolan values in movies. He cares about the experience in a theater, the visuals, the sounds, the spectacle.

I could watch Christopher Nolan impersonate Woodcock from PT all day.

I think a mark of a great film is that you can watch it many times and enjoy each screening. I have re-screened Phantom Thread many times. There's just something about the film, maybe for me the biggest pull is the nonstop incredibly beautiful cinematography. But of course there are so many others things to enjoy as well. Master filmmaking.

PTA is the best director working today

Nolan later stated that he wished the characters voices had been drowned out by music so that they were barely audible

The real villain of Phantom Thread is the extremely capable sound designer.

i was thinking myself very odd in rewatching this film three times to catch every nuance from the three leads. i’m so glad that i am not the only obsessive fan 😉

Something about the laughter in this room reciting Woodcock is incredibly refreshing. I remember seeing it in theatres and was in complete stitches for most of it while most of the audience was quiet. Like a lot of PTA films its stunning, poignant and deep but it's also just deliciously hilarious. PTA has such a great skill in mocking masculine self seriousness. It appears in so many of his movies, men with such a high perception of themselves that basically makes them a zoo creature in there realities. There's reason and merit to some of those inflated egos but they are also removed from time and space in a pathetic way. Woodcock one of the most fun those prototypes. He's insufferable and stands for so much waspy bullshit but he's also endearing to the viewer maybe because we see his blinders even if he doesn't. And by the end what a way to get put in his place. What a film.

I really wish Christopher Nolan had made a movie with Daniel Day Lewis

[a.r.t]

Still a robbery we didn't get more than 20 minute video for a panel with PTA, Chris Nolan and Del Toro..

All of thosr movies except Dunkirk came out at the end 2017 so i count them as 2018 movies myself because that is when i saw them. I went back through my list and 2018 was a really great year for movies.

Greta Gerwing sitting there cracks me up

[Abdalla_Hussien]

three of the best filmmakers in the 21 century and ... um greta, somehow

[mariarohmer]

What a fun family he has. Calling someone Mr. Woodcock for being controlling, bullying is a great inside joke.😄
