Paul Thomas Anderson

The director of “Licorice Pizza” discusses his writing process, choosing actors, and how you can tell when you are on a good film set.

The filmmaker returns to his home terrain, where “Boogie Nights” and many of his other movies were set. Plus, millennial writers reflect on the particular sense of despair in their generation.

With audacity and insight, the filmmaker fuses a comedic romp of romance and self-discovery with a sharp debunking of classic Hollywood myths and heroes.

In the director’s Nixon-era coming-of-age tale, his mind’s eye is fixed on the past.

In their music videos, the three-sister band turns the streets of Los Angeles, the city where, cliché has it, nobody walks, into places where pedestrians strut and sashay.

The title speaks directly to Yorke’s central thesis: cling to your soul, no matter how hard the modern world tries to wrench it from your body.

I’ve watched Paul Thomas Anderson’s movie several times in the past two decades, but there is one particular moment that I’ve returned to, as a stand-alone, again and again.

The film’s spectacle of male power was so embedded in its every fibre that it was largely missed.

George Glasgow crafted footwear for Daniel Day-Lewis. Then the actor asked him to be in his movie.

Although Daniel Day-Lewis looks ineffably dapper in it, Paul Thomas Anderson’s film is possessed by a fear that style alone can cramp the soul.
