paul w.s anderson crafts a web of struggle, a men so deep into his work that its basically a half of him but that other half yearns for love.
this man is a complicated man.
at first, he somewhat rejects her but later wants to and does marry her.
its such a weird film but it also makes sense at the same time.i preffer daniel day lewis in this to there will be blood.
he's so fucking amazing(still not as amazing as nicolas cage) in this.
vicky krieps plays this woman who yearns for his affection but has to deal with his personality aswell.
the shot composition is some of paul w.s anderson's best work, i mean like....he was literally the cinematographer for his own film.(also watch my newest film aswell pls https://boxd.it/b9649R )

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A hypnotic exploration of control and desire dressed in exquisite 1950s haute couture, where romance becomes a delicate power struggle between perfectionist and muse. Watching this film feels like being pulled into an elegant, suffocating space where beauty and toxicity intertwine.
